Fluffy Homemade Dinner Rolls
Description
This Fluffy Homemade Dinner Rolls recipe uses warm milk and instant dry yeast combined with sugar, salt, softened butter, and eggs to create a rich, tender dough. The flour is added slowly while mixing to achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough that responds well to kneading. After a first rise to double in size, the dough is portioned into 24 rolls, shaped, and arranged closely on a baking sheet to allow them to rise again and develop soft edges. Baking at 375°F for about 12-14 minutes produces rolls with a light crumb and golden crust. The recipe includes an herb butter made with softened butter, crushed garlic, and fresh chopped herbs like chives, rosemary, and parsley to spread on warm rolls. These dinner rolls can serve as a side for meals or sandwiches.
Ingredients
For the rolls:
- 2 cups milk warm
- 2 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon butter unsalted, softened
- 2 large egg
- 6 cups all-purpose flour 750 g
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
For the herb butter:
- 1 tick butter 100 g, softened
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 cup herbs I used chives, rosemary and parsley, fresh, finely chopped
Instructions
- In the bowl of as stand mixer, add the warm milk, the yeast, sugar, salt, butter and eggs. Mix briefly to combine.
- Add 5 1/2 cups of flour and using either a dough hook or paddle attachment, mix on low speed until flour starts to incorporate into the dough. Increase speed to medium. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour slowly until dough pulls away from side of the bowl.
- The dough should be soft and a little bit sticky. If it is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour at at time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. It should double in size.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet and form the rested dough into 24 even sized balls. Place on the baking sheet in 6 rows of 4. It's ok if they touch a little. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for another 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 190 C (375 F), and bake the bread after it's second resting time for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
- As soon as it's out of the oven, brush the bread with the melted butter.
To make the herb butter:
- Make sure the butter is very soft- if necessary, put some plastic gloves on and smush the butter between your fingers a little. Add the crushed garlic and minced herbs and stir to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the herb butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap then cover with plastic wrap and roll it into a cylinder shape. Twist either end of plastic wrap up tight (like a candy wrapper) and place butter in fridge for at least 1 hour to chill properly. You serve by slicing thin slices directly off this butter log.
Notes
- Use warm milk to activate the yeast and encourage a good rise in the dough.
- Adjust flour quantity as needed to reach a soft but manageable dough consistency.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled to ensure fluffiness.
- The herb butter can be spread over warm rolls or used as a flavorful topping before serving.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated gently to restore softness.
