Make tender, fluffy dinner rolls from scratch in about an hour. These rolls are rich with butter and perfect for any family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Combine the warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the sugar, egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Gently punch down the dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, leaving a small space between them for rising.
  8. Cover the pan loosely and let the rolls rise again for 15 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. Immediately brush the tops of the hot rolls with the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
  12. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the melted butter used for brushing.
  • If your kitchen is cold, place the covered dough bowl inside a turned-off oven with a pan of hot water on the rack below to create a warm environment for rising.
  • You can use instant yeast; if you do, mix it directly with the flour instead of proofing it with the milk first.
