Instructions
- Add all of the bread ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix, with a dough hook, until the dough is soft, smooth, and not too sticky. About 5-10 minutes.
- Lightly grease a large bowl, add the dough, cover, and leave to rise somewhere warm for about 1 1/2 hours. The dough should be almost doubled in size.
- Prehat oven to 350F.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, and place on a lightly floured surface for shaping. For making dinner rolls, divide the dough into 16 equal portions. You can weigh the pieces of dough for super-accuracy, but I just divide in half by eye, and then continue to divide each half in half until I have the right number of rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a baking pan. For "pull-apart" style rolls, you can use 2 8-inch cake pans which should fit 14 rolls, or a 9 x 13 pan should fit all 16. Cover and allow to rise again for about an hour. They should look noticeably puffed up and start to crowd each other.
- To make loaves, divide the dough in half, gently shape into a log, and place each half into a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Cover and allow to rise for another hour. The dough should rise about to or slightly above the top of the loaf pan.
- Bake for about 25 minutes for the rolls, and about 35-40 minutes for the loaves. While still warm, brush the tops of the rolls or the loaves with the melted butter.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the baking pans.
Notes
- Recipe lightly adapted from King Arthur Flour.
