Classic Dinner Rolls
Get your rolling pins ready! Here’s the beauty that we’re about to create:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 package (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1 large egg
- Extra melted butter for brushing
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get that yeast party started! In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it gets all bubbly and frothy. If it’s too shy and doesn’t bloom, toss it and start with fresh yeast. No one likes a sad roll!
- Next, stir in the melted butter and the egg. Combine, combine, combine until it’s all glorious and eggy!
- Now, it’s time to add the flour, one cup at a time, followed by the salt. Mix until it forms a dough—if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. Channel your inner dough whisperer! You want this dough to be soft and slightly tacky but not to the point where it’s auditioning for a horror movie.
- Time to knead! Lightly flour your countertop and knead that dough for about 5 to 7 minutes. You’re looking for a smooth and elastic dough, so give it some love.
- Grease a bowl, place your dough inside, and cover it with a dish towel. Let it rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size, which should take about an hour. Take a break and do a little happy dance—this dough is going to love you back!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down (not literally) and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape them into balls and place them in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Patience is key—think of it as dough yoga!
- Bake those beauties in your preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and irresistible. Brush with extra melted butter as soon as they come out for that gleaming finish.
- Let them cool slightly, then serve warm and watch everyone flock to your dinner table like moths to a flame!
