Best Best Ever Dinner Rolls Recipes

MY AUNT TERRIE'S FAMOUS HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS (BEST EVER!)

Steps:

• In a heat-proof bowl, melt 1 stick of the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool.
• Add 1/4 cup warm (not hot) water, the yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a small bowl and stir slightly with fork. Set aside to proof.
• In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, put 3 cups of the flour with the salt, eggs (preferably at room temperature), 1 cup warm (not hot) water, 1 cup sugar, and the cooled melted butter. Mix well.
• Add the yeast mixture and gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and keep beating. Cook's Note: You may not need the whole 5 cups of flour; the stickier (not runny) the dough, the lighter the rolls.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl and pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the dough. Cover with a plate and let rise, at least double or more its original size, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• After the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it a little. Roll out the dough about 1/4-inch thick (or thinner). Let the dough rest a few minutes while you melt the other stick of butter. Use a cookie cutter and cut out rolls. Dip each roll in melted butter, fold in half and put them on a sheet pan. Arrange them close together, filling up the pan.
• Bake until nice and brown. Ovens vary, so maybe about 20 minutes.
• Take the pan out of oven and immediately brush the rolls with butter. Transfer them to a serving dish and serve.

THE BEST DINNER ROLLS EVER!

Steps:

• 1. Start by activating the yeast. Pour the yeast and water into a bowl.
• 2. Heat milk and butter in the microwave for 1 minute (do not boil).
• 3. Add to the yeast and water, egg, sugar, salt, and one cup of the flour. Stir just a little.
• 4. Add milk and butter (this cant be hot or it will kill the yeast). Stir and switch to a rubber spatula.
• 5. Add remaining flour.
• 6. Stir until you have a sticky, but knead-able, dough. The more you work the dough the less sticky it becomes.
• 7. Pour out on floured surface.
• 8. Knead for 6 - 7 minutes, only adding a little flour if it gets too sticky. If too much flour is added, an unpleasant crust forms.
• 9. Spray a bowl with butter spray. Make a nice ball and put it in the bowl. Cover.
• 10. Let it sit for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
• 11. Now after the dough has risen, remove the cover. Pour onto a floured surface and punch down the dough.
• 12. Pat with hands shaping it into a square.
• 13. Cut into 12 squares.
• 14. Place in a greased pan they can touch (for greased pan, I use non-stick butter flavor spray in a can).
• 15. After you place them in the pan simply let them rise approximately 20 minutes.
• 16. Brush the rolls with the egg wash. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

BEST EVER SOFT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients (mixer or bread machine) to make a smooth, soft dough
• 2. Cover the dough. Let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk. If using bread machine, just let dough or manual cycle complete it's job.
• 3. Deflate the dough and divide into 2 balls and then divide each ball into 8 or 9 pieces. Round and shape each piece into a ball.
• 4. Place 8 or 9 finished balls of dough into each of two 8"or 9" inch round cake pans that are lightly greased. Cover and let rise for about an hour or until very puffy.
• 5. If desired, brush un-baked rolls with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon of water) and sprinkle with herbs or small seeds.
• 6. Bake in pre-heated 375 degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes. until golden. DO NOT OVER-BAKE !
• 7. Remove rolls from oven and as soon as you are able to handle them, take rolls out of pans and brush with melted butter. Cool completely on a rack.

BEST EVER DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, stir yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, and a pinch of sugar.
• 2. In another bowl, beat eggs in 1 cup warm water; add oil and salt. Mix egg mixture into yeast, and add sugar. Gradually add flour. Cover with a damp cloth, and allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour, then place in the refrigerator and allow to rise overnight. This dough is rather sticky, and will raise to at least twice it's size.
• 3. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each section out into a circle on a floured board or wax paper. Cut into pizza slice shapes, and roll slices large end to small end. Place on greased flat baking pans, and allow to rise for 2 hours.
• 4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
