Ingredients:

– 1 package active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 1 box yellow cake mix
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup warm milk
– 1/3 cup melted butter
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy and activated.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and all-purpose flour. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. To the dry mixture, add the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, and the activated yeast mixture. Combine everything until a soft dough forms.

4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

6. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into rolls. You can choose to shape them into traditional rolls or get creative with different shapes.

7. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll to allow for expansion. Cover them again and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.

8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen for the second time, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

9. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for a beautiful shine and added flavor.

10. Serve these Cake Mix Yeast Rolls warm with a dollop of butter and your favorite jam or honey. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet cake mix and fluffy, buttery rolls that will surely become a family favorite.
