Provided by Rebecca Hubbell

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h3m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pkg active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted + extra for brushing at the end)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 - 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a very large bowl, then stir in the sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the egg, melted butter, and salt. Stir in as much of the flour as you can with a wooden spoon.
  • Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes. Alternatively: You can turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place back in the lightly greased large bowl, turning one to cover the surface of the dough with grease. Cover with a clean hand towel and let rise in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and cover the dough back up with the cloth and let rest for 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease two 9x13-inch pans. For Larger Rolls: Use a 15x10-inch pan and do not divide the dough.
  • Divide each half of the dough into 12 pieces and shape the rolls by gently pulling each dough piece into a ball, tucking the edges under and arranging on the baking sheets. If you are making larger rolls, make 15 equally sized balls of dough.
  • Cover the pans of rolls with hand towels and let rise in a warm place until the rolls have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Brush the rolls with more butter after removing from the oven. Best served within 24 hours.

The Ultimate Dinner Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Sometimes, the best part of a home-cooked dinner is the simplest part. That's right, we're talking about rolls: buttery and flaky, they capture all things right about freshly-baked bread. 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!

HOMEMADE YEAST ROLLS



Homemade Yeast Rolls image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 30 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Three 1/4-ounce packets active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 large eggs
Olive oil, for greasing
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt 1 stick of the butter in a small saucepan, then bring to a boil and cook until there are light brown specks in the butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the browned butter into a small bowl and whisk in the sugar until dissolved. Whisk in the milk; the mixture should be lukewarm, around 110 degrees F. Next, whisk in the active dry yeast. Set aside until foamy, 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the eggs and whisk the eggs together with a fork. Pour the browned butter mixture into the well. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the liquids. Continue stirring just until a shaggy dough comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead with floured hands until the dough becomes very smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough, turning it once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough. Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter and use half of that to grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Divide the dough into thirds and divide each third into 10 balls. To create smooth tops: roll each ball between your palms, and then stretch the dough across the top of the ball, pinching the excess at the bottom.
  • Place the dough balls, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish -- 5 to the short side, 6 to long side. Cover and let rise until slightly puffy, 30 minutes. Brush the tops with the remaining butter and sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  • Bake until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when lightly tapped, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve warm.

CLASSIC YEAST DINNER ROLLS



Classic Yeast Dinner Rolls image

Provided by Katie Clark

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 cups milk
2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1/4 cup melted butter, cooled to room temp
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups flour

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix milk, yeast, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stop adding flour when it is no longer sticky. Use your mixer's dough hook attachment for 10 minutes or knead by hand. Place in a buttered bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. This can take a few hours at room temperature, but it can go faster if you turn the oven to 200, turn it off, and then place the bowl in the oven (make sure it's turned off!) After dough has risen, punch down gently and divide into 12 equal pieces. Form the dough pieces into a roll. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 glass dish. Let rise until doubled (again, using the oven trick can make it go faster). Once rolls have risen, bake at 375F for 18-25 minutes. Brush with butter.

LIGHT AND FLUFFY YEAST ROLLS



Light and Fluffy Yeast Rolls image

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     Breads

Time 2h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, active yeast. Check the expiration date on the package to make sure it's still good.
  • Activate the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help ensure that the yeast is properly hydrated and active.
  • Use a dough hook on a stand mixer or mix the dough by hand in a large bowl. Be sure to knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. You can also let the dough rise overnight in the refrigerator, but be sure to bring it to room temperature before shaping the rolls.
  • Shape the rolls into any desired shape. You can make traditional round rolls, crescent rolls, or even cinnamon rolls.
  • Let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help them to rise higher in the oven.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature, such as 400 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a little practice, you can master the art of making perfect yeast rolls. These versatile rolls can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even dessert. Whether you enjoy them plain, topped with butter and jam, or filled with your favorite ingredients, yeast rolls are a delicious and satisfying treat that everyone will enjoy.
