Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups warm water about 105 F
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, plus extra for brushing the tops of the rolls
  • 3-3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Turn slow cooker to "warm". Line with parchment paper and grease parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (in a large bowl), stir together water, sugar, and yeast.
  3. Let stand 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  4. Stir in butter, and 2 cups flour and salt.
  5. Continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough clings to the hook and clears the side of the bowl. Dough will feel slightly sticky but shouldn't stick to your finger.
  6. Shape dough into 12-16 rolls, depending on desired size, and add to slow cooker.
  7. Place a thin cotton towel across the top of the slow cooker and cover. Let rolls sit for 10 minutes.
  8. Turn to "high", and cook for about 1 ½ hours, or until edges are light golden brown. My slow cooker doesn't cook evenly, so I rotate my crock halfway through the cooking time.
  9. If you would like to brown the tops, turn broiler on.
  10. Brush with tops of rolls with melted butter (about 1 tablespoon), and broil for about 1-2 minutes. Watch the rolls closely because they can go from golden to burnt very quickly.
