Quick Yeast Dinner Rolls
Description
The recipe produces a batch of 12 dinner rolls, using common baking ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, eggs, butter, and instant yeast. The dough is mixed with a stand mixer and adjusted with additional flour as needed for softness without stickiness. After shaping the dough into rolls, a brief rising time occurs in a warm spot while the oven preheats to 400°F. Baking finishes the rolls with a golden crust and soft interior. The use of both softened and melted butter adds richness and moisture to the rolls.
The texture of these rolls is tender with a lightly crisp crust, making them suitable as a dinner side or for sandwiches. The flavor is subtly buttery and slightly sweetened by sugar, which complements savory dishes. This method offers a balance between a quick rise and still having soft, well-developed rolls.
Proper storage is advised to maintain freshness. These rolls keep well at room temperature for up to five days or up to nine days refrigerated. They can be briefly warmed in the microwave before serving to restore softness and warmth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water lukewarm (~110F)
- 2 tablespoon sugar granulated
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 3-4 cups all-purpose flour all-purpose
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted
Instructions
- Make the dough: To the bowl of your mixer add the flour, start with 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, egg, water, butter and sprinkle the yeast over. Use the dough hook to mix on low speed, until the dough basically comes clean from the side of the bowl. Add the remaining flour if needed. The dough is soft, but not sticky and it’s ready when it comes clean from the side of the bowl. Should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Prep the skillet or pan: Brush a 12 inch skillet or 9x13-inch pan with butter.
- Shape rolls: Cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. To shape each piece into a roll, take a piece and flatten it with your palm or fingers. Fold it up into a ball by pinching the sides together, turn it over and roll it briefly. Place them in the prepared skillet or pan.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. In the meantime place the rolls in a warm environment, covered with a clean damp towel and let rise while the oven preheats, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Bake: Remove the damp towel and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the top. Remove the baking dish or skillet from the oven and immediately brush the buns with melted butter.
Notes
- Start with 3 cups of flour and add more as needed for a soft but non-sticky dough.
- Weighing dough and dividing by 12 ensures evenly sized rolls for uniform baking.
- Store rolls at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate up to 9 days, reheating briefly in the microwave before serving.
