 Delicious Classic Dinner Rolls

During the summer it’s the wonderful sight of fresh berries and all their color that entice me to bake even when the weather’s too hot to even think about it. When Fall and Winter get here, fresh bread coming out of my oven to go along with the hearty soups we love fills my thoughts and satisfies my senses. Is there anything more comforting on a cold winter day than the aroma of bread baking, not for me. Which leads me to these amazing rolls.  They were everything you could ever want in a dinner roll… soft, tender and delicious.

Delicious Classic Dinner Rolls
 We start the recipe by combining 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. The next step is warming the milk, water and butter in a saucepan until it reaches 120 degrees.  You don’t ever want to go above 120 degrees when warming any liquid to add to yeast, it’ll kill the yeast before you ever get started. You want the liquid very warm, but not hot.  Beat the liquid with the ingredients in the bowl for about 2 minutes on high speed.

Add a 1/4 cup flour to the bowl and beat another two minutes on high speed.

Next, you’re going to STIR in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.

  I added just enough flour to the bowl to make a very soft dough ball. The dough pulled away from the bowl and formed a ball.  It was very tacky at this point.  The reason I only add enough flour to form a ball is because while I am kneading the dough I add flour to firm the dough up.  I add enough flour so that my final product is is a dough ball, but it’s a slightly tacky dough ball.  After kneading the dough , it rests for 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel.

 Divide the dough into 12 pieces.  Mine are never all the same size, I usually end up taking dough from a bigger piece and adding it to a smaller piece of dough if need be to make them approximately the same in size. Shape your dough pieces into balls.

Place them in a greased eight or nine inch round baking pan.  Cover them with a cloth and let them rise in a draft free place in your kitchen till double in size.  If you have a hard time finding a draft free spot in your kitchen, turn your oven on for a couple of minutes and turn it off again.  Then place the pan in the oven to rise.

 Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake the dough for 20 minutes or until done and golden brown on top.  Remove the pan from the oven and brush with melted butter. Serve warm.

After tasting these dinner rolls, I can’t image there could be any other dinner roll better than these. My husband has already requested they be made again…and again.  These would be absolutely perfect with any soup or dinner during the Fall and Winter. And as I sit here looking at them, I’m thinking how good they’d be made into Sliders as well.   These perfectly delicious dinner rolls will be on my table when the holidays arrive.  It’s doesn’t get any better than this Kids, this is lovin from the oven. Enjoy!
