Here’s a simple recipe for soft dinner rolls that are fluffy and delicious!
Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) milk, warmed (about 110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until the dough comes together. You may need more or less flour, depending on humidity.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, until puffed.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking for extra softness.
Enjoy!
