Dinner Rolls
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
My family loves the fragrance of these dinner rolls as they bake, and each person has come to expect them whenever I make a special meal. After that meal, these rolls can be easily reheated and "freshened." Just pop them in the microwave, or put them in a moistened paper bag and then place the bag in an oven on low heat. —Anna Baker, Blaine, Washington
Ingredients
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
-
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
Melted butter, optional
Directions
-
1.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine milk, softened butter, eggs, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
-
2.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Divide and shape each portion into 12 balls. Place rolls in 2 greased 13x9-in. baking pans. Cover with clean kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
-
4.
Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. If desired, brush tops lightly with melted butter. Cool on wire racks. Serve warm.
