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!

ANGIE'S PERFECT DINNER ROLLS



Angie's Perfect Dinner Rolls image

This is a recipe given to me by my aunt. The rolls are excellent!

Provided by Cristy H.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 4h35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups warm milk
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Pour milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and salt; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and allow to rise again. Repeat this step two more times.
  • Break off 2 to 3 inch size pieces of dough, roll lightly into round shape, and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching. Repeat to make 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake rolls in preheated oven until tops turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, drizzle melted butter over the top, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use fresh, active dry yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce enough carbon dioxide to make the rolls rise properly.
  • Always proof the yeast in warm water before adding it to the other ingredients. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a good rise.
  • Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the rolls chewy.
  • Let the rolls rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide and make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Dinner rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes or bread crumbs. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious dinner rolls at home.
