Description
Soft and fluffy homemade dinner rolls that are easy to make and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 envelope active dried yeast
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for brushing
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F) with 2 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the surface and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup lukewarm milk and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Add the proofed yeast mixture. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tablespoon salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer for 6-8 minutes.
- First rise: Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down dough, divide into 12-16 pieces, and shape into smooth balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1-2 inches apart.
- Second rise and baking: Cover shaped rolls and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush rolls with beaten egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Brush with extra melted butter immediately after baking.
