These warm, buttery rolls only take a little hands-on prep (the yeast does all the work), kids love to help shape them, and they fill the house with a delicious aroma. Even better, the same dough can be used for Cinnamon-Nut Buns.

Time 3h20m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup warm water (115 degrees)
2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm whole milk (115 degrees)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl and pans
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 large eggs
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface

Steps:

  • Place water in a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, butter, sugar, salt, and 2 eggs. Whisk in yeast mixture.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft, shaggy dough (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour). Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Butter the inside of a large bowl; place dough in bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 15-inch rope; cut each rope into 15 1-inch pieces. Press each piece into a disk, then shape into a ball. Arrange dough balls in prepared pans. (To make ahead: Wrap pans well, and freeze, up to 2 months.) Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until rolls have doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours (2 hours more if frozen).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg until blended; brush onto rolls. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Let rolls cool 15 minutes before serving.

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk
½ cup warm water
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
neutral oil, for greasing
sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it's done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn't rip, it's ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
  • Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
  • Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
  • Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
  • Enjoy!

HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS



Homemade Dinner Rolls image

Bake your own yeasty, buttery and golden Homemade Dinner Rolls with Food Network's easy recipe.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 41m

Yield 24 to 30 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast
1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk, scalded but cooled to warm
4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces
5 cups flour, plus more, as needed
6-cup, 3-inch muffin tin pan

Steps:

  • In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.
  • Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly oil the muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Fill muffin pan, cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips for Making Perfect Dinner Rolls from Scratch:

  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water or milk is warm enough (105-115°F) to activate the yeast. If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, it won't activate properly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting rolls. Use bread flour for a chewier texture and all-purpose flour for a softer texture.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, which gives the rolls their structure and texture. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The dough needs a warm, draft-free environment to rise properly. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the Rolls Evenly: When shaping the rolls, make sure they are all about the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the Rolls at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for baking dinner rolls is 375°F. This will give them a golden brown crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Making dinner rolls from scratch is a rewarding experience, and with a little practice, you'll be able to create delicious, homemade rolls that your family and friends will love. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, knead the dough properly, let it rise in a warm place, and bake the rolls at the right temperature. With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy fresh, fluffy dinner rolls anytime you want.
