Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for about 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead the dough using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook for 5–7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into smooth balls.
Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll for rising.
Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for 30–40 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them generously with melted butter while still warm.
Serve warm and enjoy your Out of This World Dinner Rolls!
