Description

Easy recipe for soft and buttery dinner rolls, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in melted butter and beaten eggs.
  3. Add salt and gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down dough and divide into 12-16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
  7. Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Brush tops with melted butter immediately after removing from oven.

Notes

  • For extra soft rolls, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough.
  • Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
