Dinner Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Measure the Flour [00:00]

Measure out 3 and 1/2 cups (420 g) of all-purpose flour, dividing it into 1 and 1/2 cups (180 g) for the first bowl and 1 and 3/4 cups (210 g) for the second bowl.

Step 2: Prepare the Mixer [00:53]

In the bowl of your stand mixer, add 1 cup (240 ml) of warm whole milk and 1 packet of instant yeast. Stir to combine.

Step 3: Add Ingredients [01:52]

Add 180 g of all-purpose flour, 5 tablespoons (71 g) of softened butter, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixer. Mix on medium-low for about a minute until combined.

Step 4: Incorporate Remaining Flour [03:51]

Add the remaining 1 and 3/4 cups (210 g) of all-purpose flour to the bowl and use the dough hook attachment to mix on medium for about 2 minutes until it pulls together.

Step 5: Adjust Dough Consistency [04:21]

If the dough sticks to your fingers, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour until it becomes slightly tacky but not sticky. Continue mixing for another minute.

Step 6: Knead the Dough [06:01]

Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until it has developed structure. Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.

Step 7: Shape the Rolls [09:01]

After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces (about 55 g each). Roll each piece into a ball by pinching the edges and rolling it on the countertop.

Step 8: Prepare for Second Rise [10:02]

Place the shaped rolls into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Cover them and let rise until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9: Bake the Rolls [11:29]

Bake the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 10: Finish and Serve [11:43]

Brush the warm rolls with about 2 tablespoons of melted butter for shine and richness. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your pillowy soft dinner rolls!
