Herren's Sweet Rolls
1 cup milk
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter, cut in slices
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 packages yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups all-purpose or bread flour, sifted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter, melted
In a saucepan, boil milk. Add sliced butter, sugar and salt and set aside to
cool. Transfer to an electric mixer fit with a dough hook. Add yeast to water
and stir into milk mixture. Add flour, about half at a time, and beat well
(dough also can be mixed by hand). Let rest for 15 minutes. Knead until smooth.
Place dough in a buttered bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise until double in
size, about 1 hour.
In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Lightly butter two 13-by-9-inch baking
pans and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces.
Working with one piece at a time, roll out dough on a lightly floured board to
about 1/4 inch thick and about 8 inches square. Lightly brush surface with
melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture generously over entire surface. Starting
at one side of the square, roll up dough into a tube. Continue rolling back and
forth until it is about 12 inches long. Cut into wheels approximately 1/2-inch
wide and place flat in the pans, so that there is just a little space between
them. Do not overcrowd the pan. Brush the tops with butter and sprinkle with
sugar mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to
350� F. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 1 minute, then promptly remove rolls
to prevent sticking.
Makes 50 servings.
Note:In Herren's heyday, 2,000 of these rolls were made daily. You also can
refrigerate the rolls before baking. Allow 30 minutes to bring them back to room
temperature before baking. The same dough was used to make Herren's parkerhouse
rolls.
Herren's lives on in people's memories. Many readers have written in,
reminiscing about Herren's Restaurant; it certainly touched a soft spot in the
hearts of many. Located downtown on Luckie Street, this Atlanta landmark opened
in 1934 and lasted over half a century, closing in 1987.
