Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe
Description
This Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe starts with warm milk to activate yeast along with sugar and melted butter, forming a dough with four cups of flour. The dough is sticky but not sticky enough to cling to dry fingers, ensuring a tender crumb. Kneading is done by mixer or hand to develop gluten for structure. After a two-hour rise, the dough is shaped into even pieces and baked until golden. The tops are brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with kosher salt, adding flavor and a delicate crust.
The resulting rolls are soft and pillowy, suitable as a side to many meals or for sandwiches. Their texture is tender inside with a slight chew from the flour and yeast development. The recipe and process prepare multiple rolls depending on size, ideal for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup milk warmed to 110F, whole
- 4 Tbsp butter melted, unsalted
- 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp salt (we used fine sea salt)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (minus 1 to 3 Tbsp) measured correctly
- 1 Tbsp butter melted to brush the tops of dinner rolls, unsalted
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt to sprinkle finished rolls
Instructions
- In the bowl of your mixer, whisk together warm milk (about 110F) and 1 Tbsp sugar. Sprinkle the top with 1 Tbsp yeast and let sit 1 minute. Whisk together and let it sit for about 5 minutes until yeast looks foamy. Add 4 Tbsp melted butter, remaining sugar and salt.
- Add flour half a cup at a time until the dough whisking to incorporate. Once the dough gets too thick, switch to the dough hook attachment and mix on speed 2 (you can also continue mixing by hand with a stiff spatula). Add about 4 cups of flour, adding the last 1 to 3 Tbsp of flour only if needed. The dough should feel sticky and tacky but should not stick to clean/dry finger tips.
- Knead the dough with the dough hook in a stand mixer for 2 minutes or knead by hand (10 min), then place dough in an oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise about 2 hours in a warm place or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough rises, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 15-24 even pieces depending on the shape of your baking dish. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place them onto an oiled 9x13 casserole dish or baking sheet.
- Cover the dinner rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise another 30-60 minutes in a warm place or until puffed (do not over-proof). Bake at 375F for about 23-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Immediately brush tops of dinner rolls with melted butter and set aside to cool to room temperature before serving.
