Description
Delightful soft and fluffy dinner rolls, perfect for soaking up sauces and gravies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp warm water (115˚F)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet yeast)
- 1 cup low-fat milk (warm (105-110˚F))
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted or very soft, plus more for the pan)
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour (divided; add an extra 1/4 cup if needed)
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter (divided, melted)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add warm water and sprinkle yeast on top. Let it rest uncovered for 7 minutes until it gets foamy.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt, and mix well.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of flour, then switch to a dough hook. Incorporate the remaining flour in thirds until the dough is smooth and not sticky.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, either with a stand mixer or by hand. Then, transfer it to an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
- Divide the risen dough into 12 pieces, then further divide each piece into 3 small balls. Place three balls in each buttered muffin cup.
- Lightly cover with oiled plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Once the rolls have risen, brush them with melted butter and bake for 13-15 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Brush with additional melted butter after baking and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure water and milk are at the right temperatures for yeast activation. You can also add herbs or garlic to the melted butter for extra flavor.
