Worlds Best Dinner Roll Recipe
These dinner rolls will win every meal, gathering, or holiday dinner you make them for, hands down!! This recipe also makes a delicious homemade pizza dough!!Makes approximately a dozen rolls depending on what size they are.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Whole milk
- ⅓ cup Salted Butter
- ¼ cup Organic cane sugar or honey
- 1 ½ tsp Sea Salt
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Water - Luke warm (between 105 F - 115 F)
- 2 ¼ tsp Dry active yeast
- 2 cups Bread Flour
- 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
FOR FRESHLY MILLED FLOUR: If you'd like to use some freshly milled flour for these, the best mix I have found is to sub the 1.5 cup all purpose flour for 233 grams of freshly milled. The dough will seem too moist but just let it sit. Once its done rising the flour will have absorbed the moisture and it will be workable
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer combine 1/2 cup luke warm water with yeast and allow to soften 5-10 min or until frothy
- In a saucepan combine milk, butter, sugar or honey, and salt and stir until butter is melted
- Remove milk mixture from heat and let cool for about 5 min. Stir in 1 egg.
- Add milk mixture to yeast mixture.
- Add flour and turn on mixer to mix and knead for about 3-5 min
- Cover bowl and place in a warm location for dough to rise (until double in size)
- Remove dough from bowl and break into handful sized pieces. Roll between your hands (like you did to make a snake with playdough) until you have a rope that is about an inch thick and about 8 in long. Tie in a simple knot and place on a baking sheet. Repeat process.
- I like to let them rise again if I have time for about 20-30 min before baking for an extra fluffy roll, but they also can be baked right away after shaping.
- Bake at 400 F for 12-15 min, until the top starts to look slightly golden.
Notes
To make pizza, cut dough in half and roll out in a circle. Let rise for about 20 min before adding toppings. Cook at 400 F until it looks done.
