Soft and Fluffy Dinner Rolls are tender, buttery yeast rolls with a pillowy texture, perfect as a side for any meal or for making small sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add egg, softened butter, salt, and half of the flour. Mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add remaining flour and knead 5–7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Punch down dough and divide into 12–15 equal balls.
  6. Place dough balls in a greased baking dish and cover. Let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake rolls for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Brush warm rolls with melted butter before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading is key for soft, stretchy rolls.
  • For sweeter rolls, increase sugar to 1/3 cup.
