Soft Dinner Rolls
180kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk warmed to 110°F (43°C)
- 2.25 tsp instant yeast 1 standard packet
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar divided
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened, cut into pieces
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled (390g)
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter optional topping
- 1 tbsp honey optional topping
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- 9x13 Baking Pan
Method
- Whisk the warm milk, yeast, and 1 Tablespoon of sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining sugar, egg, butter, salt, and 1 cup flour. With a dough hook or paddle attachment, mix on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes.
- Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 5 full minutes, or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 5 full minutes. If the dough becomes too sticky, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flour at a time until you have a soft, slightly tacky dough.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover and allow to rise in a warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Punch down the dough and divide into 14-16 equal pieces. Shape each into a smooth ball and arrange in the pan.
- Cover shaped rolls and allow to rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with optional honey butter topping.

Notes
For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure flour. If your kitchen is chilly, let the dough rise near a warm oven (not too hot!). Freeze baked rolls for up to 3 months—thaw and rewarm in a 300°F oven.
