Rolls
Soft, fluffy, and irresistibly golden, these homemade rolls are the ultimate addition to any meal. Crafted with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and a touch of sugar, these versatile dinner rolls strike the perfect balance between light sweetness and savory richness. The secret to their pillowy texture lies in kneading the dough until it’s elastic and allowing it to rise twice for that bakery-style softness. Brushed with melted butter straight out of the oven, these rolls boast a beautifully glossy top and a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Ready in under 2 hours and yielding 12 perfectly portioned rolls, they’re ideal for holiday gatherings, everyday dinners, or as the base for sliders. Pair them with soups, stews, or enjoy them warm with a pat of butter for a comforting treat that feels like home. Keywords: Homemade rolls, soft dinner rolls, buttery rolls, easy bread recipe.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Let the mixture cool to a lukewarm temperature (around 110°F).
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or in a large mixing bowl if done by hand), combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Gradually add the warm milk and butter mixture and mix until combined. Then, add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes (or 5–7 minutes with the stand mixer) until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30–40 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15–18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for extra softness and flavor.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as a side for any meal.
