Time 1h

Yield 12 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
4 cups flour (I use a combo of wheat and white)

Steps:

Add water, yeast and sugar in mixing bowl, allow to bubble (about 4 min).
Add salt and flour slowly, checking for consistency. You may need to use as much as 1/2 a cup extra flour- dough should be firm but slightly sticky.
Place in greased bowl and allow to double (15-30 minutes).
Flour your hands and separate into 12 rolls on greased pan. Allow to rise 15 minutes more.
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Tips:

Use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Good ingredients make a big difference in the final product.
Make sure your yeast is active. If you're not sure, you can test it by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it starts to bubble after a few minutes, it's active.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the rolls tough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to double in size.
Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Perfect dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect dinner rolls every time.
