The Best Dinner Rolls Ever! image

These dinner rolls are rustic you don't need a fancy mixer to make them. For a yeast roll, they're pretty quick and easy to make. It takes a little arm work to knead the dough, but the outcome is so tasty. When baked, they are soft, almost biscuit-like, but with a lighter texture. For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted...

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
1 c milk
1 lightly beaten egg
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 c all-purpose flour
egg white with 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)

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.
