BEST LIGHT & FLUFFY DINNER ROLLS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Best Light & Fluffy Dinner Rolls Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by TrayH

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast
1 1/2 cups hot tap water
1 egg
1/3 cup softened butter or vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Sift together two cups of the flour with the sugar, salt, and stir in the yeast. With mixer at low speed, blend shortening or butter into the flour mixture. Add the hot water (the hottest it comes from your tap, all at once, with mixer running. Add the egg, and continue mixing. Add in the remaining two cups flour to make a soft dough. At this point, I changed my mixer beaters for dough hooks and let the mixer knead the dough for about ten minutes and then put it into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled, about two hours. Punch dough down. At this point it can either be refrigerated or shaped in rolls or loaves and allowed to rise a second time until doubled, usually about an hour. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until barely brown. May be frozen after baking and reheated to serve.

LIGHT AND FLUFFY YEAST ROLLS



Light and Fluffy Yeast Rolls image

After a long attempt to recreate the infamous yeast rolls of O'Charleys, I was able to get close. This is the result of a few years of trying to find out how they do it. If you've never heard of the place, I guarantee you will still LOVE these rolls! (Note: I doubled this recipe and was able to make enough to feed two very hungry families over Thanksgiving... just so you know!)

CLASSIC YEAST DINNER ROLLS



Classic Yeast Dinner Rolls image

Provided by Katie Clark

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 cups milk
2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1/4 cup melted butter, cooled to room temp
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups flour

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix milk, yeast, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stop adding flour when it is no longer sticky. Use your mixer's dough hook attachment for 10 minutes or knead by hand. Place in a buttered bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. This can take a few hours at room temperature, but it can go faster if you turn the oven to 200, turn it off, and then place the bowl in the oven (make sure it's turned off!) After dough has risen, punch down gently and divide into 12 equal pieces. Form the dough pieces into a roll. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 glass dish. Let rise until doubled (again, using the oven trick can make it go faster). Once rolls have risen, bake at 375F for 18-25 minutes. Brush with butter.

Tips:

  • Ensure your yeast is active before starting. To test, mix 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 teaspoons of warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will start to foam and double in size.
  • Use a digital kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the best accuracy. This will help ensure your rolls turn out perfectly.
  • When kneading the dough, do so on a lightly greased surface to prevent it from sticking. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
  • To shape the rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:

These light and fluffy yeast rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are soft, tender, and have a slightly sweet flavor. Whether you are serving them with dinner, brunch, or as a snack, these rolls are sure to be a hit. With a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can easily make these delicious rolls at home. So, preheat your oven and get ready to enjoy a batch of these irresistible yeast rolls!
