Dinner Rolls
Rating
This homemade dinner rolls recipe makes incredibly soft and fluffy rolls that are perfect for Thanksgiving or any family dinner.
Ingredients
- ½ cup hot water
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp dry yeast*
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, divided
- 2 Tbsp salted butter, melted
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (more or less as needed)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the sugar and yeast to the hot water (about 100-110ºF) and stir to dissolve. Let the mixture sit for about five minutes, or until it becomes very frothy on top.
- Once frothy, whisk in the milk, 1 egg, and the melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour and the salt. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of flour and stir until smooth.
- Continue adding more flour, about ½ cup at a time, until a ball of dough forms that begins to pull from the side of the bowl (about 1 cup flour).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes, adding only as much flour as needed to keep it from sticking to your hands (about ½ cup more flour).
- After kneading the dough, shape it into a ball, place it back into the mixing bowl and cover loosely with plastic or a damp towel. Let the dough rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down, then remove it from the bowl. Divide it into 12 pieces, then shape each piece into a small ball. Place the dough balls into a greased baking dish.
- Let the rolls rise for 15 more minutes. While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- To achieve a glossy golden brown color on the rolls, lightly whisk 1 egg and gently brush the whisked egg over the surface of the rolls.
- Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let the rolls cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
