BEST LIGHT & FLUFFY DINNER ROLLS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Best Light & Fluffy Dinner Rolls Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by TrayH

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast
1 1/2 cups hot tap water
1 egg
1/3 cup softened butter or vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Sift together two cups of the flour with the sugar, salt, and stir in the yeast. With mixer at low speed, blend shortening or butter into the flour mixture. Add the hot water (the hottest it comes from your tap, all at once, with mixer running. Add the egg, and continue mixing. Add in the remaining two cups flour to make a soft dough. At this point, I changed my mixer beaters for dough hooks and let the mixer knead the dough for about ten minutes and then put it into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled, about two hours. Punch dough down. At this point it can either be refrigerated or shaped in rolls or loaves and allowed to rise a second time until doubled, usually about an hour. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until barely brown. May be frozen after baking and reheated to serve.

After a long attempt to recreate the infamous yeast rolls of O'Charleys, I was able to get close. This is the result of a few years of trying to find out how they do it. If you've never heard of the place, I guarantee you will still LOVE these rolls! (Note: I doubled this recipe and was able to make enough to feed two very hungry families over Thanksgiving... just so you know!)

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup warm water (about 105 degrees)
1/2 cup sugar, plus a pinch
1 package active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for bowl and plastic wrap
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, plus 1 egg for glaze
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the warm water, a pinch of sugar, and yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 6 minutes.
  • Attach the bowl to electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. With machine speed on low, add milk, butter, remaining sugar, salt, and 2 lightly beaten eggs. Gradually add enough flour to form a sticky but manageable dough. Transfer the dough to a large buttered bowl; cover tightly with buttered plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Line 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn out dough onto a floured work surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds of dough as closely together as possible. Place rounds 1/4 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover with buttered plastic wrap. Let rolls rise until they are light and do not spring back when pressed with your fingertip, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly beat remaining egg with the water. Brush mixture on tops of rounds; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until rolls are golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, active yeast. If your yeast is old or inactive, your rolls won't rise properly.
  • Make sure your milk and butter are warm, but not hot. Hot liquids will kill the yeast.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will 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 work and produce gas, which will cause the rolls to rise.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will create a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Light and fluffy yeast rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect yeast rolls every time.
