Fluffy Yeast Rolls Recipe
These soft dinner rolls are light and airy, perfect for soaking up gravy or enjoying with butter. The recipe takes about 2 hours from start to finish, including rising time, and yields 12 rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Ingredients: Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 3 1/2 cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
