Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 0.5 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Ensure the mixture is warm but not hot.
Add the warm milk-butter mixture to the yeast mixture along with the salt. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or hand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Continue until the dough forms a soft and slightly sticky ball.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with the dough hook on medium speed for 4-5 minutes.
Grease a large bowl with a bit of oil, place the dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
Serve warm and enjoy your Fabulous and Easy Dinner Rolls!
