 Recipe: Dinner Rolls
I find that the nicest meals are always nicer with some bread in my hand,
preferably warm from the oven. We don't have a nice bakery nearby, so I have to
make my own rolls, and this is the simplest recipe I've found.
| Yield |
12 rolls |
| Time |
3 hours (including 2+ hours rising time) |
| Tools |
- 2 large bowls
- wooden spoon
- electric hand mixer
- plastic wrap
- muffin tin
- pastry brush
|
| Ingredients |
- 1 package yeast
- 3 T warm water (110°)
- 1 c warm milk
- 6 T butter, softened
- 3 T sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 t salt
- 3½ - 4 c flour
- 1 t oil
|
| Directions |
Combine yeast with water and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in milk, 4
T butter, sugar, egg, and salt. Slowly add 2 c flour and beat for 1 minute.
Gradually add another 1½ c flour or more, until dough is still moist but no
longer sticky. Turn out onto floured counter and knead 10 minutes,
until smooth and stretchy. Form into a ball.
Oil the other bowl, place dough ball in it, and turn to coat with
oil. Cover with plastic wrap, place in warm spot, and let rise until doubled
in size - at least 1 hour. Knead for one minute, cover, and refrigerate for
30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 36 equal pieces and roll into small balls.*
Using a bit of the remaining 2 T butter to grease the muffin tin and enough
plastic wrap to cover it. Place three dough balls in each muffin cup, cover
loosely, and let rise until doubled, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375. Melt the rest of the butter and brush the
rolls. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. |
| Notes |
*At this point you can freeze the dough. When you're ready to use it,
let defrost, then follow above directions to let rise the second time, etc.  Adapted
