Cornmeal Dinner Rolls Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min.+ rising Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 30 Servings
35 15 50

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 eggs
  • 4-3/4 to 5-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • TOPPING:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, butter, cornmeal and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 5-8 minutes or until thickened. Cool to 110° - 115°.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cornmeal mixture, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 30 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Uncover rolls; brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake at 375° for 13-17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks; serve warm. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Absolutely delicious!

I have made these several times - always good, always popular, never any left-overs... have never topped with cornmeal

These were excellent. I made them with % milk (because that's what I had on hand) and they still are moist and delicious. I am serving them with split pea and ham soup for dinner and can't wait!

These were amazing!!! Like super soft and light just how I love them...one thing though it didn't even put 4 3/4 cup flour in, more like 4 1/4 and they were really moist that way

Amazing! The perfect texture - light and pillowy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Great served with soup!

Soft, pillowy, and hard to stop eating. I like the out-of-the-ordinary topping. The procedure is a little unusual but the results are excellent.

These were very good (and I didn't even get a chance to apply the topping before I baked them!)

The flavor is wonderful! The texture and crumb are perfect. This is my current favorite bread recipe.
