Description

These Best Dinner Rolls are soft, fluffy, and utterly delicious. Perfect for any meal, these homemade rolls will impress your family and friends.


Ingredients

Dinner Rolls:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra if needed)
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For Brushing:

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy. Add butter, egg, salt, and flour gradually. Knead until smooth.
  2. Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, let rise for an hour until doubled.
  3. Shape and Bake: Divide into pieces, shape, and place in a baking dish. Let rise again, then bake until golden. Brush with melted butter.

Notes

  • For make-ahead rolls, shape and refrigerate overnight before the second rise.
  • Let the rolls come to room temperature and rise before baking.
  • You can use plant-based milk as a substitute for whole milk.
