Ingredients

1 (1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast
1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk, scalded but cooled to warm
4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces
5 cups flour, plus more, as needed
6-cup, 3-inch muffin tin pan

Directions

In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.

Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

Lightly oil the muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Fill muffin pan, cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Great dinner rolls
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made these dinner rolls for Christmas Dinner and they were great. We baked some of them in muffin pans and some in round... cake pans. I much preferred them in the cake pans. We also didn't make them into cloverleaf rolls.They seemed to crusty in the muffin pans. Read more

I should have read the recipe better, but EXCELLENT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It's just my hubby and me, and I didn't notice that the recipe made 24-30 rolls! (I think the 5 cups of flour should have... clued me in, but I made them for Christmas and just not paying attention.) I put a tablespoon of granulated garlic in them and sprinkled half with sesame seeds, but what the heck am I going to do with the other 20 I have? Any suggestions on when to freeze what I won't use? Could I (next time) freeze the dough after the first rising and punch down? Or will that ruin the yeast action? I'm new at baking, though my Rachael Ray cookware and knives get quite a workout in my kitchen. HELP!Read more

So good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We are bread-o-holics so I made these with a little mini Thanksgiving dinner and they were wonderful! I let them rise the... second time in a little butter instead of oil and then sprinkled half with sesame seeds and half with fresh thyme. Yum Yum!Read more
