Dinner Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape Rolls

    Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
