Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk
½ cup warm water
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
neutral oil, for greasing
sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it's done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn't rip, it's ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
  • Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
  • Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
  • Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
  • Enjoy!

DREW'S ULTIMATE DINNER ROLLS



Drew's Ultimate Dinner Rolls image

My dad, Drew, was born in Budapest, Hungary, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1956, during the Hungarian Revolution. He learned to speak English by watching Wonder Bread commercials, so it's no small coincidence that one of his all-time favorite foods is bread-freshly baked bread, to be exact. Growing up in the States, he'd receive the same Christmas present every year: a single navel orange. This recipe is an ode to my dad and combines his two loves, with oranges lending faint citrus flavor to the lightest, fluffiest dinner rolls. I use the word "ultimate" sparingly when it comes to recipes, but this one is more than worthy of that claim.

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus more as needed
1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to 110 degrees F
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice, warmed to 110 degrees F
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons sugar
One 1/4-ounce packet instant (rapid rise) yeast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Cooking spray
Large-flake sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine 1 cup of the flour with the milk, orange zest, orange juice, egg, butter, sugar, yeast, and kosher salt. Mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the speed to medium and continue mixing the dough for 2 minutes.
  • Add another 1/2 cup of the flour and continue mixing until it is incorporated. Add the remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix until combined and the dough begins to form a ball. The dough should be sticky but pulling away from the sides of the bowl. If it is too sticky, add more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Turn out the dough and knead until it comes together into a smooth ball, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover the bowl with a towel, and let rest in a warm, dark place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Grease an 8-inch round baking dish with cooking spray. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then arrange the balls in a single layer in the prepared pan. Cover the pan with a towel, then return it to the warm, dark place for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover the rolls, brush with additional melted butter, and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven, brush them again with melted butter, and serve warm.
