How to Make Flaky Dinner Rolls

• Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
• Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
• Add 2.5 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead until smooth (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tbsp at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel slightly sticky).
• Cover dough with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove dough from freezer; remove plastic wrap.
• Roll dough, still on baking sheet (sprinkle on a little more flour, if needed), into a 12 x 10 inch rectangle.
• Working with a long side, fold up bottom third of dough.
• Fold top third of dough over the first fold to form a 12 x 3 inch rectangle.
• Cover with plastic wrap; place in freezer for 10 minutes.
• Roll dough into a 12 x 10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured baking sheet.

• Working with a long side, fold up bottom third of dough.
• Fold top third of dough over the first fold to form a 12 x 3 inch rectangle.
• Cover with plastic wrap; place in freezer for 10 minutes.
• Remove dough from freezer; remove plastic wrap.
• Roll dough, still on baking sheet, into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.
