Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 Dinner Rolls
Author: Linda Loosli
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon SAF Instant Yeast (this is what I use)
  • 1 teaspoon Dough Enhancer (optional-it makes the rolls fluffy)
  • 1/2 scant teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1-3/4 to 2 cups white all purpose flour (I use bread flour)
Instructions
  1. 1. Gather the ingredients. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and set aside. Grab a bowl and a Danish Whisk.

    2. Dump everything into a large bowl. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Add additional flour if needed to the dough if the dough is too sticky. Do not add too much, we want the dough to be fluffy.

    3. Be sure and whip the egg quickly because the warm milk could possibly "cook" it. I used a Danish Whisk.

    4. Lightly flour a countertop and scoop the dough out onto the countertop. Kneading the dough for about 3-4 minutes.

    5. Cut the dough into 8 sections (never stretch your dough).

    6. Take each section and mound into a ball and place the eight balls in the greased pan.

    7. Cover with plastic wrap or a warm wet towel.

    8. Let rise for about an hour. Preheat the oven to t (350°F) = (176°C) degrees. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Slightly brush the tops with melted butter after baking if you want a soft dinner roll. I use a baggie slathered with butter to spread on the warm rolls. Let cool. Store in bags to keep the dinner rolls soft. Enjoy.
