Fluffy Dinner Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fluffy Dinner Rolls.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious roll-making adventure, grab a large bowl and mix together 3/4 cup of flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Next, in a saucepan, gently heat the milk, water, and 2 tablespoons of butter until the mixture feels warm to the touch, ideally between 120°F to 130°F.

3. Step 3

   Once your milk mixture is ready, pour it into the bowl with the flour mixture.

4. Step 4

   Beat everything together on medium speed for about 2 minutes, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

5. Step 5

   Now, add in 1/4 cup of flour and increase the speed to high for another 2 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour until you have a soft, pliable dough.

7. Step 7

   It’s time to knead! Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.

8. Step 8

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

9. Step 9

   This little break allows the gluten to relax, making your rolls even fluffier.

10. Step 10

    After the dough has rested, divide it into 12 equal pieces.

11. Step 11

    Shape each piece into a lovely ball and place them in a greased 8-inch round pan.

12. Step 12

    Cover the pan and let those rolls rise in a warm, cozy spot until they double in size, which should take around 30 minutes.

13. Step 13

    While your rolls are rising, go ahead and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

14. Step 14

    Once the rolls have puffed up beautifully, pop them into the oven and bake until they’re golden brown on top, which will take about 20 minutes.

15. Step 15

    For an extra touch of indulgence, brush the warm rolls with melted butter just before serving.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the soft, fluffy texture of your homemade rolls—perfect for any meal or simply on their own!.
