Servings: 15 rolls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup warm water between 100ºF and 110ºF
- 1 cup milk lukewarm, about 105˚F
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3¾ cup all purpose flour
Additional:
- 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
To serve with:
- cinnamon butter *the recipe is below in the notes section
Instructions
- Bloom the yeast. Add the active dry yeast and the sugar to a bowl. Add the warm water and stir. Cover the yeast and set it aside for 5-10 minutes, or until it's foamy.
- Add the wet ingredients. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the egg and salt and mix until well combined.
- Add flour. Attach the dough hooks and gradually add the flour to the milk mixture while mixing. The dough should start to pull away from the sides of the bowl as it comes together. If the dough is still sticky and not coming together, add a little more flour as needed.
- Rise the dough. Transfer the dough to a slightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 1½ hours or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough. Punch down the dough and roll it to ½-inch thickness rectangle. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut out the dough. Cut your dough into 15 squares or rectangles. Transfer the square rolls to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Baking time. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Then, bake the rolls for 20 minutes.
- Serve. Once baked, remove the dinner rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter. Let them cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve as desired or with cinnamon butter.
Notes
- How to make cinnamon butter: Beat ½ cup unsalted, softened butter with ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; beat until fluffy.
- Sweet or savory: You can serve rolls both sweet and savory - with cinnamon butter or as a side dish for a savory meal.
- Warm, not hot, ingredients: Make sure your milk and water are not too hot, or it may kill the yeast.
