Filling the Massive Hole

I am not a baker! No matter how many times I write that, I find I am writing it on a baking post. Maybe I should call myself a reluctant baker then.

When I look at what I do end up baking, I have a massive hole in my repertoire – dinner rolls. I’ve made cookies, cheesecake, pretzels and bread, but never basic dinner rolls. So when I had several couples over for dinner the other night, I wanted to rectify it.

These rolls were very light and fluffy.

All the standard ingredients. I was surprised that there would be sugar in it.

Yeast sitting in the milk.

I had to add a bit more flour when I started to work the dough.

Taking one of the three naps.

All puffed up and ready for a punch down!

Not perfect little balls. And definately not touching.

By the end of the cooking they were.

Angie’s Perfect Dinner Rolls

Prep Time: 25 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Makes: 36

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups warm milk

  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 7 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions:

1. Pour milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and salt; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.

2. Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and allow to rise again. Repeat this step two more times.

3. Break off 2 to 3 inch size pieces of dough, roll lightly into round shape, and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching. Repeat to make 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

5. Bake rolls in preheated oven until tops turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, drizzle melted butter over the top, and serve warm.
