Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy and bubbly.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm but not hot. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the flour and salt gradually, mixing with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Cover again with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter while they are still warm.
Serve the dinner rolls warm and enjoy!
