Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110ยฐF)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, warm milk, and melted butter. Stir to form a dough.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9ร—13-inch baking dish.
  6. Second rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  8. Brush with butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny finish.
  9. Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • You can use any plant-based milk to make these rolls vegan.
  • For a sweeter dinner roll, you can increase the sugar to 4 tablespoons.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
