Dinner Rolls

Prep Time2 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 Tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 1/2-5 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, with the dough hook attached, mix together the yeast, sugar and warm water. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to proof, or bubble.
  • While the yeast is proofing, combine the milk and butter in a microwave safe dish and heat for 2 minutes in the microwave to warm the milk and melt the butter. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the yeast.
  • Add the egg, salt, milk/butter, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast and mix until combined. Continue adding the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl while mixing and is tacky.
  • Continue kneading for about 5 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl onto a clean and lightly greased surface and divide the dough into 14-16 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball and place 1-2 inches apart on a greased pan. Cover and rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the rolls from the pan onto a wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm!
