Easy Slow Cooker Dinner Rolls
Description
The method involves warming milk and activating instant yeast before mixing in flour, honey, sugar, melted butter, and salt to form a soft dough. Kneading with a mixer dough hook develops elasticity. Dividing the dough into 12 equal portions and shaping into balls allows even cooking. Placing the rolls in a parchment-lined slow cooker and cooking on high for around 90 minutes cooks them through gently, avoiding drying.
Checking the bottoms for a brown crust helps ensure doneness. After removing from the crock pot, brushing with melted butter and sprinkling coarse salt adds flavor and moisture. Broiling briefly browns the tops, producing a visually appealing crust contrasting with the soft interiors. These rolls make a pleasant bread option without using a traditional oven baking process.
Ingredients
For Rolls:
- 3 cups bread flour more may be needed, or all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons salt
Topping:
- 1 Tablespoon butter melted
- salt optional, coarse
Instructions
- Warm the milk in the microwave
- Pour the milk in the bowl of a mixer, sprinkle the yeast. Mix lightly and cover for 5 minutes for yeast to activate
- When the mixture starts to bubble add the flour, honey, sugar, melted butter, and salt
- Using the dough hook, mix on medium speed for 5-6 minutes or until dough becomes soft and elastic. You'll know the dough is ready when it cleans the sides of the bowl
- Remove from the mixer and place on the counter. Cut into 12 equal pieces (I used a weight to be more exact and each of my rolls weighted approximately 2.29 oz)
- Roll each piece into a ball
- Line slow cooker with parchment paper
- Place balls inside and cover
- Cook on HIGH for approximately 90 minutes
- Check the bottom to see if the bread is completely cooked (bottom should be browned)
- Remove from the crock pot and brush the tops with melted butter
- Sprinkle the tops with coarse salt (optional)
- Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the tops brown
- Enjoy!
