I originally posted this during April Conference, I have lots more readers now so I wanted to share. These are so darn good. I am taking them to the Linger Longer next week!
General Conference is one of our favorite times of the year. We always make Conference Rolls. Its our conference tradition.
Conference Rolls
4 c lukewarm milk
¾ c sugar
8 tsp. yeast
4 eggs
4 tsp salt
1 c cooking oil
9-12 flour
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm milk. When yeast becomes active, add eggs and 5 cups flour. Beat in salt and oil. Add 4 cups of flour and beat well. Add enough of the rest of the flour to make a medium soft dough – mine is pretty sicky. Let rise until double, about 1hour. (Punch down and let rise again if at lower altitude – below 5000 ft) Form into balls or cinnamon rolls let rise again. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. After baking drizzle lightly with vanilla glaze. (powder sugar, butter, milk, vanilla). Makes good orange rolls too.
Dough after rising once here at the high altitude (6,5,00 all you non-coloradoans need to rise twice).
Before baking
They go fast - hurry and get yours now!

Questions:
How do you know the yeast is activated?
Do you have to have a kitchenaid to make this? I am wondering about beating it 4 cups of flour without a kitchenaid. I don't think my scooba can do that.
This looks so delicious.
Those look amazing!
I want to come to your house for conference.
They look so much better than the cans of Pilsbury orange rolls I picked up last night!
hmm... so which do I do, these or the butter cake made with apples we picked today?
Melissa - They are better than Pilsbury - cheaper too. But they make a huge mess. Butter cake is easier but these are more exciting. Choices choices.
Sally - you can tell the yeast is active if it looks a little foamy - it takes about 3-5 minutes. This is such a soft dough that you don't need a fancy mixer, but you do need a big one. If your mixer is small or hand held, cut the recipe in half.
Diane - Frontier has cheap flights and Roland will carry you up the stairs.
Those look great Robin! We have a "breakfast cake" as a conference tradition. I'll have to post the recipe on my blog. Aren't traditions great? I'll try these next week!
I love that HUGE metal bowl!
I had no idea you were such a cook, Robin. Doesn't fall bring out your domesticity?
Yummy! I'm gonna have to try this recipe!
of course she gets her creative cooking gene from her mom, who also made conference rolls (but with cream cheese frosting).
