No-Knead Soft Dinner Rolls image

You'll love this easy recipe for soft dinner rolls. They are no-knead, no machine fluffy and yummy rolls!

Provided by Meymi

Categories     Bread

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

510 g (3 and 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour ((dip and sweep)*)
50 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
245 g (1 cup) warm milk**
20 g (0,70 oz) fresh yeast***
1 large egg
50 g (3 and 1/2 tablespoons) melted butter, cooled
1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing the rolls

Steps:

  • Place the fresh yeast into a small glass bowl, and crumble it. Dissolve the yeast with almost 1/4 of the warm milk by using a wooden spoon.
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt in a large glass bowl.
  • Add in the dissolved yeast and the rest of the milk, stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula.
  • Mix in the melted butter and the egg, stir until all combined completely.
  • Grease the same bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside and cover with plastic film. Let it rise until more than doubled in size for almost 1 hour.
  • Knock back the dough. If you use grams, you can take 59-60g(for 15 balls) or 73-75g pieces(for 12 balls) from the dough to make the balls. Or you can place the dough on a work surface after you knock back the dough, make a rectangle by slightly pressing to the dough with your hands. Divide the dough horizontally into 3 and vertically into 5 if you are making 15 rolls and start making the balls out of these pieces.
  • Place the balls into a 12 inch (31cm) round dish or 9*13 inch (23*33cm) rectangle dish that is lined with parchment paper and cover with plastic film. Let them rise for almost 45-50 minutes. Instead of parchment paper, you can grease and flour the dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C) when the dough almost doubles.
  • Bake for 15-16 minutes until the top is golden brown. If you are not sure, you can remove one roll and tap underneath. If there is a hollow sound it means it is baked.
  • After you remove the rolls from the oven, brush the top of the rolls with melted butter. Serve fresh. Keep them in an airtight container when they are totally cooled.

Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
¼ cup white sugar, divided
½ cup warm water
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 room-temperature eggs, lightly beaten
3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in water. Let stand until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  • Place remaining sugar, flour, and salt in a separate bowl; mix to combine. Make a well in the center. Add yeast mixture, milk, eggs, and butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until a thick, sticky batter forms.
  • Cover dough with a clean, damp dish towel and place in a warm place. Let rise until almost tripled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Punch dough down to deflate. Mix briefly in the bowl to get rid of bubbles.
  • Dust a work surface with flour. Scrape dough out and dust the top with flour. Cut into 4 pieces, then cut each piece into 3 pieces.
  • Press down 1 piece of dough with your palm. Use your fingers to gather it into a ball. Flip so the smooth side faces up and roll briefly to form a ball. Place roll in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Line up rolls in a 3x4 grid in the baking pan. Spray the surface of the rolls with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Place baking pan in a warm place and let rise until almost doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Halfway through the second rise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until surface is golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Use parchment paper overhang to lift rolls onto a cooling rack. Serve warm.

NO-KNEAD DINNER ROLLS



No-Knead Dinner Rolls image

If you've never made homemade dinner rolls before, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to do so! Try Ree Drummond's soft, no-knead dinner roll recipe this year.

Categories     Thanksgiving     baking     main dish     side dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
9 c. flour
2 packages (4 1/2 tsp.) active dry yeast
1 tsp. (heaping) baking powder
1 tsp. (scant) baking soda
2 tbsp. salt

Steps:

  • Pour 4 cups of milk into a stock pot or Dutch oven. Add one cup of sugar and 1 cup of vegetable oil. Stir to combine. Now, turn the burner on medium to medium-low and "scald" the mixture (bring it to just before a boil.) Cool to lukewarm (between 90 and 110 degrees).
  • Before the mixture boils, turn off the heat. NOW. Very important stuff here: walk away. Walk away and allow this mixture to cool to warm/lukewarm. The mixture will need to be warm enough to be a hospitable environment for the yeast, but not so hot that it kills the yeast and makes it inactive. I don't usually use a thermometer, but if you'd like to, a good temperature is between 90 and 110 degrees. I usually feel the side of the pan with the palm of my hand. If it's hot at all, I wait another 20 minutes or so. The pan should feel comfortably warm.
  • When the mixture is the right temperature add in 4 cups of flour and 2 packages of (4-1/2 teaspoons) of active dry yeast. After the yeast and flour are nicely incorporated, add another 4 cups of flour. Stir together and allow to sit, covered with a tea towel or lid, for an hour. After about an hour it should have almost doubled in size. If it hasn't changed much, put it in a warm (but turned off ) oven for 45 minutes or so. When it had risen sufficiently add 1 more cup of flour, 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder, 1 scant teaspoon of baking soda and about 2 tablespoons of salt. Stir (or knead just a bit) until combined.
  • Butter 1 or 2 muffin pans. Form the rolls by pinching off a walnut sized piece of dough and rolling it into a little ball. Repeat and tuck three balls of dough into each buttered muffin cup. Continue until pan is full. Cover and allow to rise for about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Bake in a 400-degree oven until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use bread flour or all-purpose flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a chewier roll. However, you can also use all-purpose flour if that's all you have on hand.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
  • Shape the rolls into balls: To shape the rolls, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and then roll each piece into a ball. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

These soft no-knead dinner rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying bread that your family and friends will love.
