Perfect Soft Dinner Rolls
Today was going to be a soup and roll kind of day. So I thought I will get these Soft Dinner Rolls out the way early this morning. But my dear family thought it was breakfast buns and it was all gobbled up as it come out the oven. So I had to get another batch started but that’s only going in the oven just before dinner, I can’t take any chances here.
How to make Dinner Rolls
If you have a stand mixer it really does help with the dough. You literally pop all the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl, give it a quick mix. The milk and butter is then added to the dry ingredients and you turn the mixer on and don’t stress about it for 6 minutes. The dough needs to rise for 1 hour, punch down the dough to release any air. It is then divided into 12 pieces. Shape them into round balls and allow them to rest for another 1 hour.
What makes the dough soft?
The richness of the fat in the milk and butter is what makes these dinner rolls so soft and delicious
Ingredients
Milk – full fat milk provides that rich flavor and texture although you can use low fat milk too Yeast- I used instant dry yeast but you can use active yeast too. The process will be slightly different and the rise time will be longer Sugar – sugar tenderises the dough and and it feeds the yeast Butter – Doesn’t butter make everything better, yes in this instance too Salt- Salt is always needed for flavor Flour – You can use cake wheat flour, bread flour or all purpose flour
If you want to make the dough ahead of time. You will need to allow the dough to rise. Once you shape them into balls for the second rise you can cover them with cling wrap and refrigerate, ensure that no air gets into the dough. When you ready to bake them remove them from the refrigerator and allow it to rise on the counter top for 1 to 2 hours before baking them These rolls are perfect to make a savoury stuffed roll too. I will definitely make some soon and share the recipe. It makes great garlic rolls and cheesy rolls too. For cheese rolls you can top them up with cheese before baking them. I promise once you make these rolls you will make them over and over again, they are seriously addictive. You may want to double the recipe too, 12 is just not going to be enough.
