Description

Soft, fluffy, and buttery dinner rolls that are perfect for any meal. These rolls are easy to make and ideal for holiday feasts or everyday dinners.


Ingredients

  • ? 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ? 1 cup warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
  • ? 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • ? 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ? 1 large egg
  • ? 1 teaspoon salt
  • ? 3-4 cups all-purpose flour (approximately)
  • ? 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on top)


Instructions

1️⃣ Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix well.

3️⃣ Add Flour:
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the flour, or you may need a little more, depending on humidity and other factors.

4️⃣ Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5️⃣ First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

6️⃣ Shape the Rolls:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12-16 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

7️⃣ Second Rise:
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

8️⃣ Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

9️⃣ Bake:
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

? Brush with Butter:
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for added flavor and shine.

1️⃣1️⃣ Serve:
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, homemade dinner rolls! ?️?
