Soft Dinner Rolls
These soft dinner rolls are the perfect addition to any dinner table. They’re fluffy, slightly sweet, and practically beg for a slather of butter. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!
### Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk along with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy. It’s alive! (Well, sort of.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter and eggs.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the well and mix until a dough forms. It will be a bit sticky—don’t panic! You like it sticky, right? That means it’ll be fluffy!
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes until it’s smooth. If you’ve got a stand mixer, let it do the heavy lifting!
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
- Once risen, punch down the dough (yes, really!) and divide it into 12-16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, and place them in a greased baking dish. Give them some space—these rolls love to cuddle!
- Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you wait—it’s the perfect time for impatient snacking.)
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Those rolls are going to smell amazing!
- Remove from the oven, and brush those golden beauties with melted butter for an extra touch of heaven. Enjoy your fresh rolls with, well, anything!
So there you have it—a delightful journey into the world of dinner rolls! Perfect for family gatherings, dinner parties, or just a cozy night in with a side of carbs. Roll on, friends, roll on!
