Ingredients
- 1 cup (236ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (48g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons (435g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk for about 60 seconds until it reaches 110°F-120°F. Once heated, stir in the sugar until it’s dissolved. Melt the butter and cool.
- In a stand mixer, combine all the dry ingredients, including the yeast. Then add the melted butter and egg. Using the dough hook, beat the on low speed (speed 1) for 2 minutes. Slowly stream in the milk.
- Increase the mixing speed to medium and continue beating for another 5 minutes. The dough should be in one large ball, but it may stick to the sides of the bowl.
- Divide the rolls into 15 equal size balls. If you can use a kitchen scale, that would be best. Measure out 2-ounce size balls of dough. Shape the dough into smooth balls by pulling the edges under and pinching them together. Place seam side down in a greased glass baking dish and let rise for at least 1 hour until double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for 15-19 minutes. If the rolls are browning too quickly, tent them with tin foil. Serve warm.
Notes
- For 1 tablespoon of yeast, you’ll need 2 individual packets (2 1/4 tsp size)
- Storing: Store your leftover dinner rolls airtight on the counter for up to 3-5 days. You can also freeze these rolls for up to one month, see below.
- Freezing: Once cooled, wrapped tightly or otherwise stored airtight and kept frozen for up to a month.
- Rise time: If your rolls aren’t rising enough, it could be that the yeast is expired, or that the milk was too hot and subsequently killed the yeast. Double-check labels and temperatures to be sure! If you live in a cold environment, this can also affect how quickly the dough will rise.
- Recommended pan: Use a light-colored ceramic or glass pan to prevent the bottoms from burning or browning too quickly.
