Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Side Dish

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -5 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp rapid rise, instant yeast
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.
  • Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and mix until flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • 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.
  • Add additional flour as necessary. The dough should be slightly sticky and soft and pulling away from the edge of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Remove the towel or plastic wrap and deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough and form 24 rolls. You can weigh them to keep the rolls close to the same size. Mine were about 2 ounces each but this will vary depending on how much flour you added.
  • Transfer the rolls to a lightly greased quarter baking sheet or 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If the rolls are getting too brown, just tent the rolls with foil.
  • Remove rolls and brush hot rolls with the melted butter. Serve immediately or store cooled rolls in a plastic bag for up to 3 days.

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups whole milk
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
Nonstick cooking spray
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high until it just starts to simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter and the sugar until melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Put the warm water in a small liquid measuring cup and stir in the yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and half the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining flour, mixing until a smooth ball forms. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to knead the dough until very smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, then place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 75 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Set aside.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, line with parchment paper then spray the paper.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto the prepared surface. Pat into an even thickness.
  • Use a chef's knife or bench scraper to divide the dough into 24 pieces, then shape into balls to create small rolls. Place in the prepared baking dish in rows of 4 by 6, then brush the tops of the rolls with 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the rolls lightly with flaky sea salt. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter. Serve warm.

These dinner rolls are rustic you don't need a fancy mixer to make them. For a yeast roll, they're pretty quick and easy to make. It takes a little arm work to knead the dough, but the outcome is so tasty. When baked, they are soft, almost biscuit-like, but with a lighter texture. For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted...

Categories     Breads

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
1 c milk
1 lightly beaten egg
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 c all-purpose flour
egg white with 1 Tbsp water (for egg wash)

Steps:

  • 1. Start by activating the yeast. Pour the yeast and water into a bowl.
  • 2. Heat milk and butter in the microwave for 1 minute (do not boil).
  • 3. Add to the yeast and water, egg, sugar, salt, and one cup of the flour. Stir just a little.
  • 4. Add milk and butter (this cant be hot or it will kill the yeast). Stir and switch to a rubber spatula.
  • 5. Add remaining flour.
  • 6. Stir until you have a sticky, but knead-able, dough. The more you work the dough the less sticky it becomes.
  • 7. Pour out on floured surface.
  • 8. Knead for 6 - 7 minutes, only adding a little flour if it gets too sticky. If too much flour is added, an unpleasant crust forms.
  • 9. Spray a bowl with butter spray. Make a nice ball and put it in the bowl. Cover.
  • 10. Let it sit for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • 11. Now after the dough has risen, remove the cover. Pour onto a floured surface and punch down the dough.
  • 12. Pat with hands shaping it into a square.
  • 13. Cut into 12 squares.
  • 14. Place in a greased pan they can touch (for greased pan, I use non-stick butter flavor spray in a can).
  • 15. After you place them in the pan simply let them rise approximately 20 minutes.
  • 16. Brush the rolls with the egg wash. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

THE ULTIMATE DINNER ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY



The Ultimate Dinner Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Sometimes, the best part of a home-cooked dinner is the simplest part. That's right, we're talking about rolls: buttery and flaky, they capture all things right about freshly-baked bread. Sure, bread baking can seem scary at first, but fear not: with our easy guide, you'll be making some of the best dinner rolls around. Pair 'em with any meal and you've got yourself a winner.

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk
½ cup warm water
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
neutral oil, for greasing
sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it's done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn't rip, it's ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
  • Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
  • Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
  • Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use bread flour for a chewier texture. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in more gluten development. This makes the rolls tougher and chewier.
  • Activate the yeast properly. Before adding the yeast to the dough, make sure to activate it in warm water with a little sugar. This will help the yeast to grow and ferment the dough properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Kneading the dough develops the gluten and makes the rolls more chewy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will take about 1 hour. If the dough does not rise properly, the rolls will be dense and heavy.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature. The rolls should be baked at a high temperature (400°F) for about 20 minutes. This will give the rolls a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These dinner rolls are the perfect addition to any meal. They are soft, fluffy, and have a delicious flavor that will please everyone at the table. You can serve them with butter, jam, or your favorite soup or stew. No matter how you serve them, these dinner rolls are sure to be a hit!
