Steps
Step 1 of 12
Step 1

Warm the milk to about 110°F.

1. Warm the milk to about 110°F.
2. Mix the milk, yeast, 1 1/2 cups flour, softened butter, sugar, egg, and salt until combined.
3. Add the remaining flour and switch to a dough hook.
4. Knead for about 2 minutes. Add a little extra flour only if the dough is sticking heavily to your fingers.
5. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth, tacky, and pulling together around the hook.
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled.
7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 15 equal pieces, about 55 g each.
8. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish.
9. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until doubled.
10. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
11. Bake for about 20 minutes, until deeply golden.
12. Brush the warm rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt if desired.

Description

These homemade dinner rolls are made with milk, yeast, butter, egg, and a little sugar for a soft, tender dough. After the first rise, the dough is divided into individual rolls and nestled together in a buttered baking dish for a second rise. They bake until golden on top and fluffy inside, then get brushed with melted butter while still warm. A little optional salt on top balances their gentle sweetness. Serve them alongside a family dinner, bring them to a holiday table, or use them to soak up gravy and sauces.
