Description

These Best Dinner Rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any meal. Easy to make with simple ingredients, they are a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.


Ingredients

Dinner Rolls:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 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
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Add butter, egg, salt, and flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
  3. Rise: Let the dough rise until doubled. Shape into rolls and let rise again.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven, bake the rolls until golden brown, then brush with melted butter.

Notes

  • For make-ahead rolls, shape and refrigerate overnight before the second rise.
  • You can substitute whole milk with plant-based milk if desired.
