There are many treats that may find their way to the dinner table but the dinner roll is always going to be at the top of our list. That is why, when I learned how to make these delicious dinner rolls, I tried and never turned back!
Ingredients & Instructions:
1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp + 3/4 tsp instant yeast
1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) butter, melted
2 Tbsp milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp kosher salt
5 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
Directions:
1. Stir the flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast to combine.
2. Mix the water, melted butter, milk, and egg in a large measuring cup, then pour into the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until it comes together and is too stiff to keep stirring.
3. Add a little flour as needed and knead the dough on a floured surface until it forms a smooth, elastic ball.
4. Place the dough in a warm area, covered, until it doubles in size, about one hour (if your kitchen is very cold it could take longer).
5. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 24 pieces (I weighed each of the rolls to make sure they were 2 oz so that all the rolls would be the same size). Place the rolls 2 inches apart, 12 to a pan, and cover.
6. Preheat the oven to 400F.
7. Allow the rolls to rise until almost doubled again, about 30 minutes.
8. Brush the tops with additional melted butter.
9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.
