Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need for this recipe:
  • 1 cup warm water (110-115°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing on rolls)

Equipment

To make these dinner rolls, you'll need a few pieces of equipment:
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush (optional)

Method

These dinner rolls are easy to make and require just a few steps:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir to combine and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, egg, and flour to the bowl. Stir until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the dough and form it into 12 equal balls. Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
  7. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
  8. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, until they're golden brown on top.
  9. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

These dinner rolls are best served warm, fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the rolls in foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, until warm.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes! Bread flour will give your dinner rolls a slightly chewier texture.

Can I freeze these dinner rolls?

Yes! To freeze, let the rolls cool completely and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They'll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, let the rolls thaw at room temperature and then wrap them in foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, until warm.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is the right temperature. If it's too hot, it can kill the yeast. If it's too cold, it won't activate the yeast.
  • Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will help give your dinner rolls a great texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. If your kitchen is cool, you can preheat your oven to 200°F and then turn it off before placing the dough inside to rise.
  • Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking will give them a delicious golden-brown crust.
  • Don't skip the step of letting the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.
