Categories     Side Dish

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -5 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp rapid rise, instant yeast
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm milk (, 110 degrees)
5 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg (, room temperature)
2 tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and mix until flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup flour and blend with the dough hook until incorporated. And another 1/2 cup flour and repeat, mixing at medium speed for another 2 minutes until a ball of dough is formed.
  • Add additional flour as necessary. The dough should be slightly sticky and soft and pulling away from the edge of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Remove the towel or plastic wrap and deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough and form 24 rolls. You can weigh them to keep the rolls close to the same size. Mine were about 2 ounces each but this will vary depending on how much flour you added.
  • Transfer the rolls to a lightly greased quarter baking sheet or 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If the rolls are getting too brown, just tent the rolls with foil.
  • Remove rolls and brush hot rolls with the melted butter. Serve immediately or store cooled rolls in a plastic bag for up to 3 days.

The Ultimate Dinner Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Sure, bread baking can seem scary at first, but fear not: with our easy guide, you'll be making some of the best dinner rolls around. Pair 'em with any meal and you've got yourself a winner.

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!

Categories     Breads

Time 2h8m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces warm whole milk (100 degrees F)
2 1/4 ounces sugar (about 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
15 ounces all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Place the milk, sugar, yeast, flour, egg yolks, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine on low speed for 1 minute. Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook and rest the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add 2 ounces of the butter and mix on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and you are able to gently pull a golf ball size piece of the dough into a thin sheet that light will pass through, about 8 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll and shape with your hands to form a large ball. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and 'work' into a tube shape about 18 inches long. Cut tube in half, and those halves into half. Cut each piece into 3 pieces. Gently flatten each piece into a disk shape and pull the edges to the center, pinching them together. Gently roll these into 12 balls and place on a sheet pan. Cover, loosely, with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size (about 30 - 40 minutes).
  • At about the 20 minute mark, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and bake 8 - 10 minutes, until internal temperature is 200 degrees. Brush tops with remaining 1/2 ounce of butter.
  • OR.
  • Roll dough, after first rise, into a 12 by 12-inch square, about 1/2-inch thick. Melt the remaining 1/2 ounce butter and brush onto the top of the dough.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 (12 by 1-inch) strips. Stack the strips into 2 stacks of 6 strips each. Lay the stacks on their sides and cut each stack into 6 (2-inch) wide pieces. Lay each piece on its side into a prepared muffin tin cup. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the rolls reach an internal temperature of 200 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
  • Remove the muffin tin to a cooling rack and cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
  • Prep Time includes the risings.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (105-115°F) and add sugar to help activate the yeast. Proof the yeast for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become light and airy. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
  • Shape the rolls: You can shape the rolls into any shape you like, such as round, oval, or crescent. Be sure to pinch the edges of the rolls to seal them.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: This will give the rolls a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Homemade dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile addition to any meal. With a little time and effort, you can create light, fluffy, and flavorful rolls that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a side dish or bread to serve with your meal, give these dinner roll recipes a try.
