Easy Dinner Rolls
October 13, 2019
This recipe should have been up for sometime now, but it just never made it up until now. Good thing too because I know this was promised to my Mother and for some reason it just kept getting pushed aside to do later. Well later has turned into today! Get ready for some really great rolls to add to your dinner line up!
Time and time again I use these rolls for dinner, they are quick & easy, pretty much fail-proof and always a hit at the table. Light, fluffy and warm they are great to be along side any soup or pasta. My kids love to use any leftover rolls for sandwiches the next day! I took pictures from beginning to end for reference for you guys and made the best notes in the recipe so hopefully you all are able to follow easily! They really are easy to make, but I know some of my followers find making bread/rolls intimidating . Here we go!
Once you have mixed your dough together form a nice ball
Form the dough into a log about 18ish inches long. I use my cutting board as a guide so it’s always the same size.
Cut the dough into 12-14 strips.
Form each strip into a roll
Place each ball into a lightly greased dish. Cover with towel and let rise.
BAM! Amazing Rolls!
Here are the rolls where I seasoned the top before I let them sit to rise. Let them cook a little darker this time!
Again, these are really easy rolls from start to finish. They go great with any meal so hope you all like them! Enjoy!
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 TBS Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour ( you can use all purpose but I find it best to mix 50/50)
- In a large measuring cup combine the water, oil yeast and sugar. Set aside to let proof , this should be about 10 minutes until the yeast looks puffy.
- In a large mixing bowl combine half the flour , the salt, the egg and begin to mix together. Slowly add in the yeast mixture and add in remaining flour until you have a smooth dough. ** If you dough is too dry simply add a little more warm water , but do this slowly and only by tablespoons until dough forms. The same with Flour if dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it's gathered together without being sticky when touching.
- Doesn't take long at all. Take the dough and onto a lightly floured surface to give a knead or two then form it into a nice log ( about 18 inches to 19 inches long) You will now cut it into 12-14 even strips, and form gently into balls and or just plop the dough in a 9x13 inch greased pan. Cover with towel and let rest until double ( 20-30 minutes sometimes it rises fast, others it needs extra time) Once doubled bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush tops with butter if wanted.
- *Sometimes I sprinkle seasonings on top of rolls before baking just cause I feel like it, Italian and Parmesan cheese work great for a pasta dinner, or rosemary and garlic!
- *I don't always shape the dough into rough rolls, just slice and lay the rolls in the pan itself they come out the same and no one knows the difference. There are also times I get more then 12 strips but it all fits in the same pan, no worries.
