Soft Dinner Rolls Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2-3/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 1/4 cups + 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour* (divided)

  (300 grams)
• 1/2 cup milk (room temperature)

  (120 grams)
• 2 tablespoons butter softened
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 2-3 tablespoons butter (melted) for brushing

Instructions

• 1 In the bowl of the stand up mixer whisk together the sugar, salt, yeast and 3/4
  cup of flour.
• 2 In a medium pot heat the milk to 120F (48C), remove from heat and add the butter
  and let it melt, cool to 105F (40C).
• 3 Once cooled add to the whisked ingredients and beat with the flat beaters for 2
  minutes, then add the egg and 1/4 cup flour, beat 1 minute. Add the remaining 1
  1/4 cups + 1 tablespoon of flour, change to the dough hook and knead for about
  5-7 minutes, dough should be soft, smooth and elastic (if still too wet add a
  tablespoon of flour at a time, dough should be soft so do not over flour).
• 4 Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and form into a dough ball.
  Place in a lightly oiled bowl and roll the ball to lightly cover in oil. Cover
  the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft free area until doubled
  in bulk, about 1-2 hours.
• 5 Punch the dough down and shape into 9 equal balls (about 58 grams each or just
  over 2 ounces). Place just touching in a greased 8 or 9 inch (20 or 22 cm)
  square pan, cover the pan and let rise in a warm draft free area for 1 hour.
• 6 Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
• 7 Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for approximately 20 minutes or
  until golden. Brush again with melted butter if desired. Let cool on a wire rack
  or serve warm. Enjoy!
