Instructions
Creating homemade fluffy dinner rolls is a delightful process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Proof the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the melted butter, eggs, and yeast mixture.
4. Knead the Dough: Mix until the dough begins to form. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Let it Rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Final Proving: Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
8. Preheat the Oven: While the rolls are resting, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter (if desired) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before serving warm.
