Dinner Rolls

Fresh baked bread is truly a weakness, I would rather have plate of fresh baked bread than a piece of cake, slice of pie, or a few cookies. Bread is not hard to make, be sure to select quality ingredients. These soft pillow like rolls are a delight. Let's get started.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup very warm water

• 1 egg

• ½ cup warm milk

• ⅓ cup unsalted butter

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• 3 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour

• 1/2 t salt

• 1 package active dry yeast

DIRECTIONS

• Pour water and milk into a stand mixer or large bowl, add the sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.

• Add yeast to this mixture, it will become white on top, this lets you know your yeast is active.

• Once you see your yeast is active continue to add the butter, salt and egg and stir.

• Slowly add the flour until combined, do not overmix.

• Knead on a flour surface 2-4 minutes.

• In a separate buttered or greased bowl add the dough to the bowl to rise.

• Cover with a plastic lightly and return when double in size - ( About 50-60 minutes)

• Once the dough has double in size, push down in the middle and separate into equal parts. ( I like to use a Muffin/Cupcake tin when I double this recipe)

• Place the dough on a baking sheet and let rise for an additional 50 minutes

• Bake in 350 preheated oven for 7-12 minutes.

• While still piping hot from the oven, get a stick of butter and rub the tops of each roll gently and watch the butter melt.

• Enjoy!
