Best Bonnies Light Dinner Rolls Recipes

LIGHT AND EASY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl and let it stand for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in oil, sugar, eggs and salt.
• Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix ( some flour may not be needed).
• Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or up to 4 days.
• Grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces. Roll each piece into a ball; place balls in the prepared pan.
• Cover and let dough balls rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Bake until rolls are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Break rolls apart to serve.

GRANDMA BONNIE'S CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add remaining sugar, 1/4 cup oil, egg, and salt; mix until combined. Scrape paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading for about 3 more minutes.
• Add a bit of oil on the dough and roll the dough in the bowl until all sides are coated. Cover with a towel and let rise until at least doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Punch down the dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle. Pour melted butter onto the dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Add pecans. Roll up lengthwise and cut into 12 rolls. Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and let rise for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown in color, about 15 minutes.
• While the rolls are baking, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla for topping. Add 1 tablespoon milk and mix to a pourable consistency, adding more if necessary.
• Remove rolls from the oven. Immediately pour topping over top and sprinkle with pecans.

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

BONNIE'S: THE ULTIMATE GLUTEN-FREE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. TIPS FOR SUCCESS: No substitutions, please. Bring ALL ingredients to room temperature before you begin! This includes the eggs and yeast. Always use superfine flour to get light bread. If it isn't superfine, pulse it in the food processor. Assemble all the ingredients before you start making the recipe, and follow the steps in the order given below.
• 2. Use a 9X16 pan with a parchment sleeve. Spray sides and bottom with kitchen spray.
• 3. Dry Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to weigh all your flours for accuracy. Do not skip this step. Measuring cups can throw off your recipe by 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup! Mix all the Dry Ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
• 4. Proofing The Yeast: Measure 1 1/3 cup warm water, 110, degrees. Add two tablespoons of sugar and whisk until it dissolves. Add 3 teaspoons active dry yeast and whisk again until combined. Let it sit until a small dome forms, about 10 minutes.
• 5. Wet Ingredients: Meanwhile, mix the egg and egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in the stand mixer's mixing bowl using the paddle attachment. Beat 1 minute on medium speed until well mixed. Add about a half cup of the flour mixture and then add the diced butter, yeast mixture, and then gradually add the rest of the flour.
• 6. Do not add any extra flour or liquid. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes. It will be very thick.
• 7. Making The Rolls: This is the fun part. Use a 2 inch scoop to form the rolls. Dip it in water, shake off excess.
• 8. Place about a teaspoon of tapioca flour in the palm of your left hand. (Assuming you are right-handed!)
• 9. Scoop the ball into your left palm on top of the flour, and then roll the 'ball' forward on your fingers, and it will pick up a very small amount of the flour and allow you to shape it easily into a roll. Add a tiny bit more flour only if needed. After you have made one, you will see how easy it is. This technique will allow you to form rolls with a minimal amount of flour. Using too much flour will keep gluten-free yeast rolls from rising properly.
• 10. Place each roll in the prepared pan with sides almost touching. A 2-inch scoop makes 20 rolls, side by side, in a 9 X 16 pan.
• 11. I warm my oven just before setting my rolls in it to rise. Cover the rolls with a light towel, leave the oven light on and shut the door.
• 12. Let the rolls rise 30 minutes until doubled in size. Gently remove rolls from oven and set on a counter while you preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 13. Make The Egg Wash: Don't skip this step because it enhances browning and appearance of rolls. Beat one egg, 1 teaspoon water, and 1 pinch of salt.
• 14. After the rolls have risen, brush on the egg wash until all the rolls are covered. You won't use all the egg wash.
• 15. Bake rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the test thermometer says 200 degrees. They should be nice and brown.
• 16. Cool in pan for ten minutes, then move over to a rack. Lift the rolls out of the pan with the parchment sleeve. Note: Store rolls in baggies in a ziplock in the freezer. Warm rolls in the oven wrapped in tin foil.
• 17. Try some hot with jelly! Enjoy!
