Best Shirleys Yummy Dinner Rolls Recipes

POWDERED MILK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the dissolve the powdered milk and sugar in the warm water and then stir in the yeast. Allow to proof until a creamy foam forms.
• Stir in the beaten egg, melted butter and salt.
• Then slowly add the 4 1/2 cups flour or enough to make a soft dough.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down and let rise until doubled in bulk again.
• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees, shape into 20 rolls and place in a 9 x 13 greased cake pan. Cover and let rise until doubled.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

MOM'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water and add 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile scald milk. Add margarine, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Cool a little and then add eggs. (I do this step in my 4 c glass measure in the microwave.).
• Combine all with flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (The dough will more than double in bulk, so make sure your container is big enough. If it looks like it might outgrow its bowl, you can always punch it down once or twice without any ill effects.).
• Two hours before serving, divide dough into thirds and roll out into large circles about 9 inches in diameter on a floured surface. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry. It will quickly come together and handle really well with a few sprinklings of flour (not too much). Cut into 8 wedges and make crescent rolls by starting at the wide end and rolling up. Place on greased pans to rise, covered with clean towels.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Mom always rubbed the hot rolls with a stick of butter when they came out of the oven, and I do, too. It makes them so beautiful.

PERFECTLY EASY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
• Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt.
• Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix with a spoon (some flour may not be needed). At this point, use dough hook or knead on floured surface for 10 minutes until dough is smooth.
• Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, or at this point it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
• Grease one 16.5x12-inch or two 12x9-inch baking pans.
• Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board.
• Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces (about 50 grams each).
• Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan.
• Cover and let dough balls rise until double in volume, about 1 hour. (Remember if you are using dough that has been refrigerated and is cold this step will take longer).
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
• Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired.
• Break rolls apart to serve.
