MOM'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DINNER ROLLS



Mom's Melt-In-Your-Mouth Dinner Rolls image

My mom made these rolls for every occasion I can remember. They are originally in a little cookbook by Beverly Nye from Cleveland, Ohio. They are practically no fail, since there is no kneading involved. They are always light, tender, and delicious, and so popular that I usually plan on at least two per person rather than the one indicated here. They are also really convenient since you make the dough the night before and refrigerate it for the first rise. The times indicated do not include refrigerating overnight or the 2 hours they take to raise before baking. (P.S. Thanks for the photo Danielle)

Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/3 cup margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1 dash salt
2 eggs, beaten
4 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and add 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile scald milk. Add margarine, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Cool a little and then add eggs. (I do this step in my 4 c glass measure in the microwave.).
  • Combine all with flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (The dough will more than double in bulk, so make sure your container is big enough. If it looks like it might outgrow its bowl, you can always punch it down once or twice without any ill effects.).
  • Two hours before serving, divide dough into thirds and roll out into large circles about 9 inches in diameter on a floured surface. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry. It will quickly come together and handle really well with a few sprinklings of flour (not too much). Cut into 8 wedges and make crescent rolls by starting at the wide end and rolling up. Place on greased pans to rise, covered with clean towels.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Mom always rubbed the hot rolls with a stick of butter when they came out of the oven, and I do, too. It makes them so beautiful.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (105-115°F) and add a pinch of sugar to help activate the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dinner rolls. Use bread flour for a chewier texture, and unsalted butter for a richer flavor.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a smooth, elastic dough. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and springs back when you press it.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise and double in size. Place it in a warm place, free from drafts, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the dough into rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place it in a greased baking pan.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are soft, fluffy, and have a slightly sweet flavor. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these rolls at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
