Homemade Dinner Rolls


I made these for Canadian Thanksgiving this year and they turned out so yummy!! Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 1 package dry active yeast
  • 1 cup warm water about 110 degrees F
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk, scalded, but cooled to warm
  • 4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces
  • 5 cups flour, plus more as needed
Directions

In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes. (I don't have a standing mixing bowl so I just mixed by hand).

Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

Lightly oil the baking sheet. Punch down dough and roll out with a rolling pin. Make rolls with a circle cookie cutter. And place on baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Butter half of the roll dough and fold in over to form half a circle. Or lightly oil muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Fill muffin pan.

Cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour to 1 hour.

Pre heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven, until golden brown. I only cooked mine for 8 minutes, turning my baking dish at 4 minutes.


Yields: 25 - 30 Rolls
