Dinner Rolls

Bread
Servings: 16 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water - warm (100F)
  • 1/3 cup Oil
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Active dry yeast
  • 1 Egg - large, beaten
  • 1 Tbsp Unsalted butter - softened
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3-4 cups AP flour
  • 1/8 cup Milk - room temp, for brushing

Instructions

  • In stand mixer, combine water, oil, sugar, and yeast.
  • Let bloom 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in butter, egg, and salt.
  • Using dough hook on low (2), slowly add flour.
    Scrape sides as needed. Dough should be soft and not sticky.
  • Knead 5-10 minutes on medium (3-4) or 10-15 minutes by hand.
  • Grease a 9×13 baking pan or casserole dish.
  • Divide dough into 16 roughly even pieces. Roll each gently into a ball.
  • Place dough balls in pan.
    Rolling each lightly in oil will create more separated rolls; Letting sides touch without oil will create more connected rolls.
  • Cover with wax paper and a kitchen towel. Rise in a warm place 15-30 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Brush rolls with milk.
  • Bake 15-25 minutes until golden.
