Soft Dinner Rolls
I know that some consider a piece of bread an afterthought when having supper but for me, it’s crucial to have it present at most {if not all} meals. What can I say? I’m a carb-girl. However, if it happens to be a roll that’s hard and dense, I’d rather not have it at all. There’s such comfort that can be derived from the depths of a hot fluffy roll smeared with butter.

Author: The Squishy Monster
Serves: 9-12 Rolls
Ingredients
- 4 oz whole milk
- 2 tb + 2 ts unsalted butter
- 1¼ ts yeast
- 1 room temperature egg
- 2¼ c unbleached flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tb sugar
Instructions
- Heat the milk and butter, making sure not to exceed 120* and stir in the yeast.
- In a large bowl, add in the rest of the ingredients along with the milk/butter/yeast mixture.
- Knead/mix the dough for 4-7 minutes. It’s ready when the dough is soft, sticks to itself and is smooth and elastic.
- Tuck the dough into a greased and covered bowl and allow to rest for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Portion out equal pieces on a lightly dusted work surface and allow to rest in the pan it will bake in, making sure the pan is well greased. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- Brush the risen rolls with egg wash {egg + water or cream/milk} and bake at 350 for 11-14 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter, if desired and serve hot/warm.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster

I made a chicken pie for dinner tonight and had homemade rolls with it to sop up the gravy and everyone raved. I rarely make rolls but I’m glad I did. I’m going to try your recipe next. Yours look nicer than mine.

Soft, pillowy rolls…heaven. Great visual with the butter smear too. Happy Christmas to you & yours, Angela!
I am a sucker for carbs too — especially soft and puffy rolls. These look so delicious and perfect!
Unless it is a perfect baguette I prefer soft rolls too and this recipe looks amazing, beautiful rolls.
