Here’s a reliable soft and fluffy dinner rolls recipe—simple, bakery-style, and perfect for everyday meals:
🍞 Soft Dinner Rolls
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 egg (optional, for extra softness)
👩🍳 Method:
1. Activate yeast (if needed):
Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make dough:
Add flour, salt, butter, and egg. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. First rise:
Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
4. Shape rolls:
Punch down dough, divide into equal pieces, and shape into balls.
5. Second rise:
Place in a greased baking tray. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
6. Bake:
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden on top.
7. Finish:
Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for a soft, shiny crust.
🌟 Tips:
- Warm (not hot) milk helps yeast activate properly
- Don’t add too much flour—soft dough = soft rolls
- Brushing butter after baking keeps them tender
