These are the best dinner rolls you will ever bake. They are sweet and fluffy. You will start by scalding the milk in a heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the milk over medium heat and stir until it simmer. Then, take it off the heat and continue to stir while it cools down. Add warm water to a jar with yeast and sugar, stir it, and let it sit for ten minutes until it is friendly and bubbly.

Once the yeast is activated, you will start the process immediately. Add the yeast mixture to a stand mixer or a large bowl if you make this by hand. Add sugar, melted butter, a pinch of salt, beaten eggs, and the cooled scalded milk to that. Mix those for a minute, then add the flour a little at a time and mix it until you get a smooth and sticky dough.

Smooth it out, place it in a greased bowl, and cover it. Then, let the dough rise for 30 minutes to an hour and a half or until it’s doubled. Once the dough has been proofed, divide it into equal parts, roll each portion into a ball, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or inside a sizeable mini bread mould.

Once done, cover them with a damp towel, place them somewhere warm, and let them rise for another hour. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown. When they come out of the oven, brush the top with butter and are ready to serve. They are soft, doughy, pillowy, and so good. Serve them with anything you want and enjoy them.

Ingredients;

  • ½ Cup (125ml) Whole Milk
  • ¾ Cup (150 grams /3Oz) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 4 Tablespoons (56.8 grams) Butter, Melted
  • ½ Cup Water, Temperature of 115 Degrees
  • 2 Packages of Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • About 4 Cups (480 grams/ 17Oz) All-Purpose Flour
  • Additional Butter to Top

Instructions;

  1. In a small saucepan with a heavy bottom, scald milk by bringing it to a boil while stirring constantly. Once it starts to boil, please remove it from the heat and continue to stir to slightly cool it down.
  2. In a small bowl, combine two teaspoons of the sugar, warm water (115 degrees), and yeast. Allow the yeast to proof about 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add the proofed yeast, remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and cooled milk to the bowl of a standing mixer. Mix until combined.
  4. Once combined, add flour in ½ cup increments, mixing as you go.
  5. Keep adding flour until it becomes a ball, elastic, and slightly tacky. Continue kneading for about 5-8 minutes or until smooth.
  6. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, for about 1 hour.
  7. Once doubled, punch the dough down to deflate it. Pinch off two tablespoons of dough and form them into a ball. Place each roll onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring not to crowd them too close together.
  8. Cover prepared rolls and allow them to rise again for an additional hour.
  9. Place rolls into a preheated 375-degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush tops with melted butter when they come out of the oven and enjoy
