The BEST Dinner Rolls

https://www.momontimeout.com/the-best-dinner-rolls-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-17937

This dinner roll recipe was intriguing to me as they are titled ”the best” so I knew I had to choose this particular recipe but, you can choose any dinner roll recipe that you wish.

Ingredients

• 4 -5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp rapid rise, instant yeast
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk, 110 degrees
• 5 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

1. Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and mix until flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
3. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
4. Add 1/2 cup flour and blend with the dough hook until incorporated. And another 1/2 cup flour and repeat, mixing at medium speed for another 2 minutes until a ball of dough is formed.
5. Add additional flour as necessary. The dough should be slightly sticky and soft and pull away from the edge of the bowl.
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
7. Remove the towel or plastic wrap and deflate the dough by punching down lightly.
8. Pinch off pieces of the dough and form 24 rolls. You can weigh them to keep the rolls close to the same size. Mine were about 2 ounces each but this will vary depending on how much flour you added.
9. Transfer the rolls to a lightly greased quarter baking sheet or 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature.
10. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If the rolls are getting too brown, just tent the rolls with foil.
11. Remove rolls and brush hot rolls with the melted butter. Serve immediately or store cooled rolls in a plastic bag for up to 3 days.

Now that you have your dinner rolls made, what can you do with them? Make sliders of course!
