Soft and Fluffy Dinner Rolls Recipe 🍞

This simple recipe creates soft, golden rolls perfect for any meal. With basic ingredients and a little patience, you’ll have homemade bread that’s both comforting and delicious!

đź“‹ Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  1. Warm the milk (not too hot, or it will kill the yeast).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is active.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Mix until a dough forms. Then knead the dough by hand (or with a stand mixer using a dough hook) for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 3: First Rise

  1. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  2. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

  1. Once risen, punch down the dough to release air.
  2. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 12–15 pieces for smaller rolls or 8–10 for larger rolls).
  3. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, leaving a bit of space between each roll.

Step 5: Second Rise
