Soft Dinner Rolls – Pillowy Perfection in Every Bite!

on

These soft dinner rolls are the epitome of comfort food, offering a delicate balance of fluffiness and buttery goodness. Perfectly golden on the outside and irresistibly soft on the inside, these rolls are a must-have at any meal. Whether you're serving them with a hearty stew or enjoying them with a smear of butter, these rolls will elevate your dining experience. Made with simple ingredients like bread flour, warm milk, and a touch of butter, they’re easy to whip up at home, even if you're a beginner baker. Plus, they freeze beautifully, making them a convenient option for meal planning.

As I was perfecting this recipe, I kept wondering, "How should I know if the dough is kneaded well?" The key is in the texture. When the dough is properly kneaded, it should be soft, elastic, and slightly tacky, but not sticky. A good test is the "windowpane" test: take a small piece of dough and stretch it gently. If the dough stretches without tearing and you can see light through it, you’ve nailed it!

Not only are these dinner rolls incredibly satisfying, but they also contain ingredients like milk and eggs that contribute to a balanced diet. Milk provides calcium, which is essential for strong bones, while eggs are packed with protein. And if you're watching your carb intake, these rolls can be a guilt-free indulgence when enjoyed in moderation.

 











Recipe: Dinner Rolls

Servings: 12 Rolls

 

Ingredients:

  • Bread Flour: 350g (2¾ cups)
  • Warm Milk (not hot): 150 ml (⅔ cup)
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Butter: 50g (¼ cup)
  • Yeast: 6g (2 tsp)
  • Sugar: 30g (2½ tbsp)
  • Salt: 6g (1 tsp)
  • For Brushing:
    • 1 egg
    • 20g (1½ tbsp) melted butter

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk (about 30 seconds in the microwave), sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved, then add the egg, salt, softened butter, and bread flour. Mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes soft and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for the same amount of time. The dough should be smooth and stretchy.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (about 52g each). Shape each piece into a ball by tucking the edges underneath, creating a smooth top.
  4. Prepare the Baking Tray: Lightly spray a baking tray with oil and line it with parchment paper. Place the shaped dough balls on the tray, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Proof the Dough: Preheat your oven to 50°C (122°F), then turn it off. Place the tray of dough in the oven and let it proof for 25-35 minutes, until the rolls have doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are proofing, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  7. Brush and Bake: Beat the egg for the egg wash and brush it over the top of each roll. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until they are golden brown.
  8. Finish with Butter: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Making Soft Dinner Rolls:

  • Substitutions: If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can substitute the milk with almond or soy milk and the butter with a dairy-free alternative like margarine.
  • Make-Ahead Tips: You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise slowly in the fridge. In the morning, simply shape, proof, and bake for fresh rolls.
  • Freezing Tips: These rolls freeze wonderfully. Once baked and cooled, place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

These soft dinner rolls are a delightful addition to any meal, bringing warmth and comfort to your table. Whether you enjoy them fresh out of the oven or reheated from the freezer, their pillowy texture and buttery flavor are sure to please. I’d love to hear how you make these rolls your own!
