Print Recipe

Soft, fluffy, and rich buttery dinner rolls perfect as a side for any meal or for making small sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down dough and divide into 12-16 equal pieces. Shape into balls and place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush warm rolls with melted butter before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Brush with garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Can be made ahead and frozen after baking.
