ANGIE'S PERFECT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and salt; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and allow to rise again. Repeat this step two more times.
• Break off 2 to 3 inch size pieces of dough, roll lightly into round shape, and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching. Repeat to make 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake rolls in preheated oven until tops turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, drizzle melted butter over the top, and serve warm.

EASY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, egg, and salt in a large bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with dough hook.
• Heat milk until very warm (110°F to 120°F).
• Add warm milk to flour mixture. Knead 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally if needed. Add 1/2 cup flour; knead 2 more minutes.
• Add remaining 1/2 cup flour. The dough should be pulling away from the sides of the bowl and very soft. (If the dough seems too wet you may need more flour. Add in 1/4 cup increments until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl while kneading.)
• Cover with a clean towel and let REST 30 MINUTES.
• Remove towel and punch down dough.
• Divide dough into equal pieces and shape into balls. Place in greased 9x13 inch pan. Cover with plastic wrap and REST in a warm place - over 70°, preferably 75° - until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. (I had 6 left over and added them to a greased 7-inch pie dish and baked as directed.)
• Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 12-17 minutes or until golden brown.
• Brush with melted butter while warm.
• Sprinkle kosher salt on top if desired.

PERFECTLY EASY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
• Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt.

• Cover and let dough balls rise until double in volume, about 1 hour. (Remember if you are using dough that has been refrigerated and is cold this step will take longer).
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
• Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired.
• Break rolls apart to serve.

DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Place water in a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, butter, sugar, salt, and 2 eggs. Whisk in yeast mixture.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft, shaggy dough (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour). Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Butter the inside of a large bowl; place dough in bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 15-inch rope; cut each rope into 15 1-inch pieces. Press each piece into a disk, then shape into a ball. Arrange dough balls in prepared pans. (To make ahead: Wrap pans well, and freeze, up to 2 months.) Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until rolls have doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours (2 hours more if frozen).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg until blended; brush onto rolls. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Let rolls cool 15 minutes before serving.

THE ULTIMATE DINNER ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it's done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn't rip, it's ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
• Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
• Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
• Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC YEAST DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix milk, yeast, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stop adding flour when it is no longer sticky. Use your mixer's dough hook attachment for 10 minutes or knead by hand. Place in a buttered bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. This can take a few hours at room temperature, but it can go faster if you turn the oven to 200, turn it off, and then place the bowl in the oven (make sure it's turned off!) After dough has risen, punch down gently and divide into 12 equal pieces. Form the dough pieces into a roll. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 glass dish. Let rise until doubled (again, using the oven trick can make it go faster). Once rolls have risen, bake at 375F for 18-25 minutes. Brush with butter.
