Molly's Dinner Rolls

- Ready In:
- 1hr 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
24 rolls
ingredients
- 1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) package active dry yeast
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
- 1 cup milk, warmed to lukewarm
- 1⁄3 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 tablespoon salt
- all-purpose flour (I think I use about 5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
directions
- In a mixer (or by hand), combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water; let grow until bubbly (about 5 minutes).
- Add milk and mix.
- Mix in oil and egg.
- Slowly add 2 cups flour, mix, and then add salt.
- Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Lightly spray the dough with cooking spray, and let rise in a covered mixing bowl for about 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, form rolls (they will each be 2 oz., if you weigh the dough like I do) as desired, and place on a lightly greased or parchment-lined jelly roll pan (or rimmed cookie sheet). Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise an additional 30 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes (the original recipe said 10-12 minutes, but I found mine needed about 18 minutes for 24 rolls on a jelly roll pan).
- You can rotate the pan halfway through, if you'd like, but I don't.
- Brush hot rolls with melted butter.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
