Rich Dinner Rolls Recipes

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

RICH BREAD MACHINE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients in order specified by your bread machine manufacturer.
• Press dough cycle and let run until finished.
• If you don't have a dough cycle, let the machine run through the first kneading and first rise and then remove.
• Take dough out of bread machine and put on lightly floured surface.
• Roll into thick log with hands and cut into 12 equal pieces.
• Shape as desired and put onto a greased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
• Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• (Hint: Turn oven on at 150 degrees for one minute, turn off and let rolls rise in warm oven) When ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Bake rolls at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

RICH DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Scald milk; stir in sugar, salt and margarine. Cool to lukewarm.
• Measure warm water into large warm bowl. Sprinkle or crumble in yeast; stir until dissolved.
• Add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
• Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
• Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
• Punch down. Turn out on lightly floured board. Proceed according to directions for any shape. [Grandma means like crescent, cloverleaf, etc. They will need to rise again after shaped, probably another 30 minutes. I would guess that they should be baked at about 400 F for around 15 minutes.].

RICH WHITE DINNER ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE RECOMMENDED)

Steps:

• Measure ingredients into baking pan of bread machine recommended by the manufacturer. Insert pan into the oven chamber. Select Dough Cycle.
• Remove dough to a lightly floured surface; cover with a large bowl and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Choose one or more of the shaping and finishing method described below.
• Clover leaf rolls:.
• Divide the dough into 12 portions. Divide each into 3 pieces. Roll into balls. Place 3 in each cup of a lightly greased muffin tin. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in volume. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Golden Glaze:
• Brush freshly baked rolls with 1 to 2 tbsp of melted butter.
• Basic Pan Rolls:
• Divide dough into 12 portions and place, just touching in a 8 inch pan.
