MY AUNT TERRIE'S FAMOUS HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS (BEST EVER!)

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks butter
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 packages dry yeast (recommended: Rapid Rise Fleishmann's)
2 tablespoons sugar, plus 1 cup
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a heat-proof bowl, melt 1 stick of the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool.
  • Add 1/4 cup warm (not hot) water, the yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a small bowl and stir slightly with fork. Set aside to proof.
  • In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, put 3 cups of the flour with the salt, eggs (preferably at room temperature), 1 cup warm (not hot) water, 1 cup sugar, and the cooled melted butter. Mix well.
  • Add the yeast mixture and gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and keep beating. Cook's Note: You may not need the whole 5 cups of flour; the stickier (not runny) the dough, the lighter the rolls.
  • Transfer the dough to a large bowl and pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the dough. Cover with a plate and let rise, at least double or more its original size, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • After the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it a little. Roll out the dough about 1/4-inch thick (or thinner). Let the dough rest a few minutes while you melt the other stick of butter. Use a cookie cutter and cut out rolls. Dip each roll in melted butter, fold in half and put them on a sheet pan. Arrange them close together, filling up the pan.
  • Bake until nice and brown. Ovens vary, so maybe about 20 minutes.
  • Take the pan out of oven and immediately brush the rolls with butter. Transfer them to a serving dish and serve.

THE BEST DINNER ROLLS EVER!

These dinner rolls are rustic you don't need a fancy mixer to make them. For a yeast roll, they're pretty quick and easy to make. It takes a little arm work to knead the dough, but the outcome is so tasty. When baked, they are soft, almost biscuit-like, but with a lighter texture. For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted...

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
1 c milk
1 lightly beaten egg
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 c all-purpose flour
egg white with 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)

Steps:

  • 1. Start by activating the yeast. Pour the yeast and water into a bowl.
  • 2. Heat milk and butter in the microwave for 1 minute (do not boil).
  • 3. Add to the yeast and water, egg, sugar, salt, and one cup of the flour. Stir just a little.
  • 4. Add milk and butter (this cant be hot or it will kill the yeast). Stir and switch to a rubber spatula.
  • 5. Add remaining flour.
  • 6. Stir until you have a sticky, but knead-able, dough. The more you work the dough the less sticky it becomes.
  • 7. Pour out on floured surface.
  • 8. Knead for 6 - 7 minutes, only adding a little flour if it gets too sticky. If too much flour is added, an unpleasant crust forms.
  • 9. Spray a bowl with butter spray. Make a nice ball and put it in the bowl. Cover.
  • 10. Let it sit for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • 11. Now after the dough has risen, remove the cover. Pour onto a floured surface and punch down the dough.
  • 12. Pat with hands shaping it into a square.
  • 13. Cut into 12 squares.
  • 14. Place in a greased pan they can touch (for greased pan, I use non-stick butter flavor spray in a can).
  • 15. After you place them in the pan simply let them rise approximately 20 minutes.
  • 16. Brush the rolls with the egg wash. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Dinner Rolls:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your dinner rolls.
  • Activate the yeast properly. This is essential for ensuring that your rolls rise properly. If you're using active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough. If you're using instant yeast, you can add it directly to the dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, which will make your rolls chewy and flavorful.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to multiply and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the dough to rise.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown color and a slightly crispy crust.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make delicious and fluffy dinner rolls that your family and friends will love. Serve them warm with your favorite soup, stew, or salad. Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
