Experience the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread with these fluffy, golden Kitchenaid Pull Apart Dinner Rolls in a perfect small-batch size. This recipe yields just six soft and tender rolls, ideal for intimate gatherings or weeknight dinners. Made effortlessly with the help of your Kitchenaid stand mixer, these rolls come together with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and instant yeast. The dough is kneaded to perfection with the dough hook, then gently risen to create that irresistible, pillowy texture. Baked to a deliciously golden finish and optionally brushed with melted butter for extra richness, these pull-apart rolls are as satisfying as they are easy to make. Serve them warm alongside your favorite comfort meals for a truly delightful homemade bread experience.
In the bowl of your Kitchenaid stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Use the paddle attachment to mix these dry ingredients on low speed for about 30 seconds.
In a small saucepan, warm the whole milk until it reaches 100-110°F. It should feel warm to the touch but not hot.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the flour mixture. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead the dough on medium-low speed for about 6-8 minutes or until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls into a greased 8-inch round baking dish or cake pan, spacing them evenly. Cover again and let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed and touching each other.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for an extra sheen and flavor before serving.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before pulling them apart and serving.
