Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

CLASSIC YEAST DINNER ROLLS

Provided by Katie Clark

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 cups milk
2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1/4 cup melted butter, cooled to room temp
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups flour

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix milk, yeast, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stop adding flour when it is no longer sticky. Use your mixer's dough hook attachment for 10 minutes or knead by hand. Place in a buttered bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. This can take a few hours at room temperature, but it can go faster if you turn the oven to 200, turn it off, and then place the bowl in the oven (make sure it's turned off!) After dough has risen, punch down gently and divide into 12 equal pieces. Form the dough pieces into a roll. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 glass dish. Let rise until doubled (again, using the oven trick can make it go faster). Once rolls have risen, bake at 375F for 18-25 minutes. Brush with butter.

CLASSIC WHITE DINNER ROLLS

From King Arthur Flour, this is cool because it's made in a pie pan opposed to a regular baking pan. Could probably sub the butter for oil and white flour for wheat flour easily. I'm including both the original instructions, and bread machine instructions!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • OLD SCHOOL METHOD: combine 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Heat the milk, water, and butter until warm, then add to the flour mixture.
  • Beat 2 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Add 1/4 cup flour, beat 2 minutes at high speed.
  • Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough, knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Cover, let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Place in a greased 8" pie pan. Cover and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Go to Step #9!
  • BREAD MACHINE METHOD: Place the ingredients in the order required by your bread machine. With mine, I have to proof the yeast first in the sugar and water for 10-15 minutes. After proofing, do a regular 1-lb dough cycle in your machine. Mine takes 90 minutes. (NOTE- I'd recommend using closer to 2 1/2-3 cups flour for the bread machine method as mine tends to produce runny dough time to time.).
  • When the dough cycle's finished, divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Place them into a greased 8" pie pan.
  • Bake at 375F for 20 minutes or until set. Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter if desired, serve warm and immediately.

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-2 1/4 c, flour
1 envelope rapidrise yeast
2 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1/2 c, milk
1/4 c. water
2 T butter

Steps:

  • Combine 3/4 c. flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm. Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 min. at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 c. flour; beat 2 min. at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 min. Cover; let rest 10 min. Divide dough in 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8" round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 min. Bake in preheated 375* oven for 20 min. or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use bread flour for a chewier roll. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a stronger gluten network and a more chewy texture.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To test the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar. If the yeast is active, it will start to bubble and foam within a few minutes.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the rolls light and airy.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will give the rolls a crispy crust and a soft and fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These classic dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile addition to any meal. They can be served plain, or they can be filled with your favorite fillings, such as butter, jelly, or ham and cheese.
