Description
Soft, fluffy, and buttery dinner rolls that are perfect for family meals, holidays, or any dinner table. Light on the inside with a golden, tender crust.
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add melted butter, egg, flour, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place on a greased baking sheet or pan.
6. Cover and let rise for another 30–40 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
8. Brush warm rolls with melted butter before serving.
Notes
For extra softness, brush the tops with butter while still warm.
You can add herbs or garlic for flavored rolls.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
