Equipment
- Kitchen Aid Mixer (or other stand mixer)
- Bench Scraper
- Dry & Liquid Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Baking sheet or dish
Ingredients
- 3 - 3 1/2 c. All purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 2 1/4 tsp. Yeast (instant or active)
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 c. Warm water
- 2 Tbsp Melted butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast, and let sit for 3 - 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- To the yeast mixture, add 2 1/2 c. flour, salt, egg, and oil. Mix in a stand mixer with the dough hook until blended on a lower speed.
- Continue to knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed.
- Once kneaded, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a long rope.
- Cut the dough into 12 even pieces and shape into rolls.
- Grease a baking sheet or a 9x13 baking pan, and place formed dough rolls on the sheet or in the pan. Evenly space out the rolls to allow room for them to rise.
- Cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let the rolls rise for 25 - 30 minutes.
- Close to the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°.
- Once preheated, bake the rolls for 18 - 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove the dinner rolls from the oven. Brush melted butter on the top, if desired.
- Eat fresh or let cool before eating.
Notes
To prepare ahead of time:
- Make the dinner roll dough as directed, cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in the refrigerator overnight. Allow them to come to room temperature, uncovered, while preheating the oven. Bake as directed.
