1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm milk (, 110 degrees)
5 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg (, room temperature)
2 tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.

  • Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup flour and blend with the dough hook until incorporated. And another 1/2 cup flour and repeat, mixing at medium speed for another 2 minutes until a ball of dough is formed.

  • Remove the towel or plastic wrap and deflate the dough by punching down lightly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh milk, butter, and eggs will produce the best results. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Warm the milk and butter: Warming the milk and butter will help the yeast activate and produce a light and fluffy dough.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading the dough will make it tough. Knead it just until it comes together in a smooth ball.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: Baking the rolls at a high temperature will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the rolls warm: Dinner rolls are best served warm out of the oven. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Moms' Dinner Rolls are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with any meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
