Fluffy Dinner Rolls
Description
Fluffy Dinner Rolls start by proofing yeast in lukewarm water with a bit of sugar until bubbly. Meanwhile, milk is warmed with butter, sugar, and salt to dissolve. Mixing the yeast mixture with flour and the warmed milk blend forms a dough that is kneaded to smooth, elastic texture. The dough rises in a greased bowl to develop airiness.
The dough is punched down, divided into 15 portions, and arranged in a baking pan to rise again until puffy. Brushing tops with butter before baking at 425°F encourages golden color and adds a mild buttery note. The rolls bake until lightly browned and soft inside.
These rolls make excellent accompaniments to dinners and work well with soups or stews.
Ingredients
- 2¼ teaspoons yeast 1 packet, traditional
- ¼ cup water lukewarm
- 1 ¼ cup milk

- In a large bowl mix flour and the yeast mixture, slowly add the heated milk mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl and cover, letting it rise for 30 minutes.
