SMALL-BATCH DINNER ROLLS

Timing homemade dinner rolls for Thanksgiving dinner can be tricky, but this recipe makes it simple. Although these rolls require a few rises, the longest one happens overnight. That means you can pull the rolls from the fridge a couple of hours before dinner, then bake them right when the meal is almost ready.

Time 17h

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Vegetable oil, for the bowl
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat the milk, sugar and shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to help melt the shortening, just until the mixture begins to simmer. Pour into a bowl. Set aside to cool to about 125 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk mixture, then add 2/3 cup of the flour to the mixture. Stir until no lumps remain and the mixture looks like pancake batter. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place for 2 hours.
  • Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda and 1/3 cup of the remaining flour to the yeast mixture. Stir well and add the remaining 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Start using your hands after the final flour addition, kneading the mixture for a couple of minutes to form a smooth, elastic dough. Lightly oil a bowl, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Lay the dough on a work surface and press it out to a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 12 inches by 14 inches) using your fingers. (The work surface doesn't need flour. Just keep picking up the dough between presses.) Cut the rectangle into 4 equal strips crosswise, then cut each of those strips into 2 equal pieces, for a total of 8 pieces. Starting on the shorter side of a piece, roll each piece into a tight cylindrical coil. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Place each cylinder seam-side down in a 9-inch cake pan, putting 7 of the cylinders in a ring around the pan's edge. Each cylinder should point inward, like the hands of a clock. Put the last 1 cylinder in the center of the pan. Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake the rolls until golden, about 15 minutes. Brush with the melted butter and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients make all the difference in the taste of your dinner rolls. Try to use high-quality flour, butter, and milk.
  • Activate the yeast properly: Proofing the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar will help ensure that it is active and will produce light and fluffy rolls.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a smooth and elastic dough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become light and airy.
  • Shape the rolls evenly: Try to shape the rolls into even-sized balls so that they bake evenly.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter: This will help give the rolls a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

These small-batch dinner rolls are perfect for a quick and easy side dish. They are also great for freezing and reheating later. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have fresh, homemade dinner rolls that will impress your family and friends.
