Basic Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 5¾–6&dash24; cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 pkgs active dry yeast
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; mix well.
- In a small saucepan, heat water, milk, and ½ cup butter until very warm (120–130°F). Add warm liquid and egg to the flour mixture; blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additional 2½–3 cups flour until the dough pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
- On a floured surface, knead in 1¼–1¾ cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic, 8–10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and a cloth towel. Let rise in a warm place (80&ndash85°F) until light and doubled in size, 45&ndash60 minutes.
- Punch down the dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough in half. Shape each half as directed in “How to Shape Dinner Rolls.”
- Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover dough. Bake for 16–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Immediately remove rolls from pans; cool on wire racks for 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter.
- Serve warm or cool.
