Yeast 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.

QUICK YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the shortening, sugar, and hot water. Allow to cool until lukewarm, and mix in the yeast until dissolved. Mix in the egg, salt, and flour. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.
• Grease 8 muffin cups. Divide the dough into the prepared muffin cups, and allow to rise again until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

EASY YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 4 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions. Divide and shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope; tie into a loose knot. Tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.

YEAST DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in a warm water. Add milk, eggs, sugar, butter, salt and 4 cups flour until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down; divide into four portions. Shape each into eight rolls; place 20 rolls in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Place 12 rolls in a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20-30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter if desired. Serve warm.

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.
