I loved this recipe. I have never made bread before. It was not easy but I had so much fun. My house smelled good and everyone was drooling for more. I likedd getting my hands dirty!

Ingredients

  • 1  cup whole milk
  • 6  Tbsp. butter (room temperature)
  • 1  pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1/4  cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
  • 2  eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3  Tbsp. sugar
  • 4  to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (not unbleached)
  • 1  Tbsp. kosher salt
  •   Melted butter
  •   Softened butter

Directions

1. Heat the milk to 120 degrees F to 130 degrees F; add the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add cooled milk, eggs, and sugar to dissolved yeast and stir to blend. With a wooden spoon stir in 2 cups of the flour and the salt; stir until smooth. Add 2 cups of remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic and only slightly sticky. (Only if needed, after 3 minutes of stirring and dough is overly wet, stir in 1 tablespoon flour at a time.

2. Cover the surface of the dough with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Cover the top of the bowl with a second piece of plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled (1 to 2 hours).*

3. Lightly butter 24 muffin cups. Gently press the dough to deflate. With lightly buttered hands pinch off generous 1-inch pieces of dough. Fold the dough over, turning and tucking the edges to form a ball. Pinch the seam together to seal. Dip in melted butter and arrange three dough balls in each muffin cup. Let rise until fully doubled (about 1 hour).

4. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until well-browned. If needed, to prevent overbrowning, cover rolls with foil during last few minutes of baking. Remove from oven. Brush with softened butter. Return to oven for 1 to 2 minutes.

5. Remove rolls immediately from cups to a wire cooling rack. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving. Makes 24 dinner rolls.

6. * For extra-light rolls, let the dough rise a second time (1 to 2 hours) before shaping.

***** Best dinner rolls I have ever made. Be sure not to use hot water with yeast and make sure you milk is room temp. Too much heat kills the yeast. If too sitcky after first time it rises, add more flour so you can form into shape. I did NOT dip in butter.

Could not beat the dough enough, no wooden spoon either, so put it in the food processor and boy what a mess. Finally got rolls, but too sticky to make nice balls, and after all that the flavor was ho hum.

I let my bread machine do most of the work - twice. After the rising I gave the first batch to my husband that is recoving from a heart attack (and I think a mild stroke) to roll the dough into balls. He had it down in no time and didn't get too much flour everywhere. The only change I made to the recipe was to omit the salt. He doesn't need that.

Good but not great. Dough was VERY sticky, impossible for me to form the 1-inch balls to make these rolls as attractive as I would have liked. Won't make these again, not worth the struggle.
