Best High Rise Dinner Rolls Recipes

HIGH RISE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle the yeast over the water. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• In a bowl, mix together the potato flakes, whole wheat flour, and unbleached flour. In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, softened butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and egg until the mixture is well combined. Pour the yeast mixture into the buttermilk mixture, and add the flour mixture by half cups, stirring until the ingredients form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
• Shape the dough into a ball, oil the surface with vegetable oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Gently punch down the dough, and divide into 9 equal pieces. Shape the pieces into balls. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish, and place the rolls into the dish so the rolls slightly touch each other. Brush the tops with melted butter. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. The rolls should rise above the top of the pan and be crowding each other.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Brush the tops of the hot rolls with another coating of melted butter, allow to cool slightly, turn the rolls out of the pan, and pull apart. Serve warm.

HIGH RISE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water with 1 T sugar. Let stand until foamy to ensure yeast viability.
• In large bowl combine yeast with all remaining ingredients. Dough will be sticky. Turn out on floured surface and knead lightly for 3 minutes.
• Shape into ball and oil surface lightly. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Gently deflate and divide into 9 portions. Shape into tight balls and arrange in greased 8X8 inch cake pan. Rolls will be slightly touching. Brush tops with melted butter.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise again until doubled in size, about 30 - 45 minutes. Rolls should be above top of pan and all sides touching fully.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove and brush with melted butter again. Allow to cool slightly, then turn out of pan, pull apart and serve. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in airtight container.
• NOTE: The purpose of warming the buttermilk is to decrease the time needed for the first rise. It may curdle slightly from being heated, that's OK.
