Go-To Dinner Rolls

Yes, making bread and rolls can be intimidating, but I promise it's easier than it looks! And whether you're a bread-making-pro or newcomer, this recipe will become a new favorite.  It has NEVER failed when I want a fluffy, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth roll.

Usually when any bread recipe fails, the culprit is old yeast.  To avoid that problem, I always store my yeast in the freezer.  No need to thaw or get to room temperature before you use it - just straight from the freezer is fine.

So now that we're clear on how easy and delicious homemade rolls are, make a batch of these, cut a warm one in half, smother with some butter (and perhaps even homemade raspberry jam) and be prepared to melt away to your happy place.  I won't even judge you if you even enjoy 3 or 4 rolls like that before sharing.  This recipe makes 32 so there will be plenty to go around.

Yes, making bread and rolls can be intimidating, but I promise it's easier than it looks! And whether you're a bread-making-pro or newcomer, this recipe will become a new favorite. It has NEVER failed when I want a fluffy, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth roll.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (melted & slightly cooled)

  • 2 cups warm water

  • 2 Tbs dry, active yeast

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Combine butter, water, yeast and sugar. Mix gently and let sit 3-5 minutes until bubbly.

  2. Add eggs, salt, baking powder and 2 cups flour. Mix well. Add remaining 4 1/2 cups flour and mix until combined.

  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray and let rise about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  4. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a large circle, using extra flour as needed. Slice each half into 16 equal slices. Roll each piece starting at the large end. Place on a greased or silicone mat-lined cookie sheet. Let rise an additional 30 minutes.

  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

  6. Rub a cold stick of butter over warm rolls when they come out of the oven, if desired.
