Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Proof the yeast: in a small bowl combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for 5 minutes, or until bubbles appear.
- Whisk in the beaten eggs, milk, and salt.
- In a large bowl, place the flour and make a well in the middle.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the well and let it stand for 30 minutes without mixing.
- Add the melted butter, and mix until a ball forms and you can knead the dough without it being sticky. Knead it on the counter for 5 minutes. You can add a bit more flour if needed.
- Add about a teaspoon of oil to the bowl, and place the dough in it. Swirl it around until it is all covered in oil, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, divide it into 15 equal parts, and shape them into balls by rolling them in a circular motion between the heel of your palm and the counter.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise for 30 minutes more. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake them for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
