My Aunt Terrie's Famous Homemade Dinner Rolls (Best Ever!) image

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.

These rolls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

These rolls were delicious! I made them for my family for Christmas dinner, and they were a big hit. They were so soft and fluffy, and they had the perfect amount of sweetness.

These rolls were a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I'll try using less eggs next time.

These rolls were a bit dense and dry, not what I was expecting. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I've been looking for a good dinner roll recipe for ages, and this one is definitely a keeper! The rolls were light and airy, with a slightly crispy crust. They were perfect for sandwiches and burgers.

These rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
