These buttery, soft rolls are crafted with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, warm milk, and melted butter, resulting in a rich, tender crumb that’s impossible to resist. The dough is lovingly kneaded until smooth, rises to fluffy perfection, and bakes to golden-brown glory in a 9x13 pan. A final brush of melted butter gives these rolls their signature shine and irresistible flavor. Ready in just 90 minutes of prep time, these versatile yeast rolls are a must-have for any bread lover's table, whether served warm with a pat of butter or as the ultimate side dish. Perfectly moist and delightfully airy, Old Fashioned Pan Rolls are a nostalgic nod to classic home baking at its best.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes by hand, or for 5-6 minutes with a stand mixer, until smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a ball by pinching and tucking the edges under. Arrange the dough balls evenly in the prepared pan.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes, or until puffed and nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Brush the warm rolls with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter for a shiny finish.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as a side for your meal!
