Delicious Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls

Looking for a YUMMY and Delicious Easy Homemade Dinner Roll Recipe?  What is a dinner party or gathering without a basket of warm rolls on the table? These homemade rolls will be gone in no time in your home.  This is a family staple in our home.

These rolls are soft and tender, but with enough substance to them that they won’t break apart under the butter knife. They have a mild sweetness that goes well with a Sunday chicken dinner or at a potluck supper.  You can make these rolls in a few hours and all from scratch.

These rolls are made with simple ingredients — yeast, water, sugar, butter, milk, flour, and salt. It’s the ratios that matter. The dough has just the right amount of butter to make them melt-in-your-mouth rolls and enough yeast to help them rise and make them fluffy. Do I have you drooling yet? 

This recipe makes about 17 – 18 dinner rolls. I often make these during the week and use what we need for dinner and freezing the rest for another time.

Let’s Get Cookin’

In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter.

Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well.

Then roll out onto a floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes once you have formed a nice bowl of dough.

Place dough in a buttered bowl, cover with a towel and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough and form dough into balls.

I use a 1/3 measuring cup as a guide for sizing on my rolls. Each piece I use is placed in the cup.

 Place dough balls on a side by side on flat cookie sheet.

Cover with a towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
