Dinner Rolls
List of Ingredients
4 1/4 to 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter
3/4 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Recipe
In a large mixing bowl sift together 2 cups of the flour and the package of active dry yeast.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, butter, and salt just until warm. Make sure to stir constantly and heat until the butter almost melts, or you attain 120-F degrees on a cooking thermometer.
Add the warm milk mixture to dry mixture along with the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly, then continue to beat on high-speed 3 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. You'll knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes total.
Shape the dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, usually about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, depending on what shape of roll you wish to make, lightly grease baking sheets or muffin tins.
Shape the dough into desired rolls and place on prepared baking sheets or in muffin cups. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly double in size, usually about 30 minutes.
Bake in a pre-heated 375-F degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or till golden. Immediately remove rolls from pans. Cool on wire racks. Yield 24 to 32 Rolls
