Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, lemon zest and salt. In a small saucepan, heat butter and milk to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Add 4 eggs; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in the remaining flour. Do not knead.
  2. 2
    Spoon dough into a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Stir dough down. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. 3
    Preheat oven to 375°. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Cover; let rest 15 minutes. Cut one-sixth from dough; set aside. Shape remaining dough into 12 balls (about 2-1/2 in.); place in well-greased muffin cups.
  4. 4
    Divide reserved dough into 12 small balls. Make a deep indentation in center of each large ball; place 1 small ball into each indentation. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. 5
    Beat remaining egg; brush over rolls. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
