Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 to 2-1/4 C AP flour, divided
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 packet RapidRise Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 1/4 C water
  • 2 Tbs butter (or a spray of “Pam for Baking”)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt in a large bowl.

Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120º to 130ºF), then add to flour mixture.

Beat 2 minutes with dough hook at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Make sure to scrape up any sneaky flour hiding at the bottom.

Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes (this actually took me like 2 minutes).

Let rest, covered, about 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls. Place into greased 8-inch round pan. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375ºF for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

Tips

*These rolls are very forgiving, I was having issues following directions this day and dumped all 2 cups of flour into the bowl with the yeast and they still came out great. (hence putting the “3/4C flour” in bold)

*Takes about 90 minutes start to finish – 20 min active, 10 minute rest, 30 minute rise, and 20-30 minute bake
