Light And Fluffy Dinner Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Sift together two cups of the flour with the sugar, salt, and stir in the yeast. With mixer at low speed, blend shortening or butter into the flour mixture. Add the hot water (the hottest it comes from your tap, all at once, with mixer running. Add the egg, and continue mixing. Add in the remaining two cups flour to make a soft dough. At this point, I changed my mixer beaters for dough hooks and let the mixer knead the dough for about ten minutes and then put it into an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled, about two hours. Punch dough down. At this point it can either be refrigerated or shaped in rolls or loaves and allowed to rise a second time until doubled, usually about an hour. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until barely brown. May be frozen after baking and reheated to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm milk, water, sugar and salt. Remove from heat, and mix in the eggs and yeast.
• Measure flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, and pour milk mixture into it. Do not stir. Cover with a lid, and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour melted margarine into flour, and mix well. Add more flour if too sticky. Knead lightly. Cover, and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Shape the dough into rolls, and place on a baking sheet. Let rise again for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Bake rolls in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes, or until done.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place bread flour, water, sugar, egg, 2 tablespoons softened butter, yeast, and salt into the pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle and press Start. When the cycle is complete, remove the dough and press down to deflate.
• Divide dough into 15 equal pieces and form into rolls. Place rolls in prepared baking dish, brush with melted butter, and cover dish loosely with plastic wrap; let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl and let it stand for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in oil, sugar, eggs and salt.
• Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix ( some flour may not be needed).
• Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or up to 4 days.
• Grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces. Roll each piece into a ball; place balls in the prepared pan.
• Cover and let dough balls rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Bake until rolls are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Break rolls apart to serve.

Steps:

• Make a Tangzhong by whisking 8 tsp flour into a 1/2 cup of water and heat on low heat to 149° or until the Tangzhong has thickened to about the consistency of a custard. Then cover with plastic wrap so that it touches the Tangzhong and let it cool to room temperature.
• In a food processor with the dough blade attachment, mix together 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp warm water(110-115 degrees F), the yeast and 1/2 tsp granulated sugar until yeast has dissolved.
• Allow to rest 10 minutes in the food processor.
• While resting put 1 Tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp granulated sugar, 1 1/3 cups flour, 1 3/4 tsp salt in a bowl and mix with a spoon.
• After resting time, add bowl of dry ingredients, the room temp Tangzhong, and 3 Tbsp Olive Oil, to the rested yeast and pulse the mixture until well combined.
• Add in remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse until all is incorporated.
• Add up to 1/4 cup additional flour as needed to make the dough pull away from sides of the food processor but still be slightly sticky to the touch.
• Transfer dough to a large lightly olive oiled mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in a warm place (~80 degrees F) until dough doubles, it will take about 1 1/2 hours.
• Rub a small amount of olive oil on your hands then punch risen dough down, divide into 12 equal portions (2 ounces each by weight), keep them covered with plastic wrap as you work.
• Lightly flour your surface and hands, and shape it into a roll by flattening a piece of dough, folding the top half way down and the bottom half way up, flattening again, then rolling it up like a carpet. Finally, take both ends of the roll and tuck them under so that they touch and roll that in your hands to make it into a ball like shape. Or shape them any other way you were taught to make rolls.
• Then place them on two parchment paper lined cookie sheets or one parchment paper lined 8x12 inch cake pan. Cover and let rise 1 hour (or 45 minutes at room temperature and then placed into the refrigerator for a few hours and take out while preheating oven). Preheat oven to 425 during the last 10 minutes of rising.
• Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes until golden.
• When it is done, run a stick of margarine or brush olive oil over top of the hot rolls. Top with your favorite seasoning (I like garlic salt).
• Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Dissolve the sugar then the yeast in the warm water; let "proof" for about 10 minutes - it should swell and get bubbly.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until light. Mix in the oil, milk, and proofed yeast until well blended.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until dough is smooth and elastic (it will be fairly sticky).
• Pour dough into large oiled bowl and let rise for 4 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
• Spray baking sheets with baking spray or lightly butter.
• Pour onto floured board, divide the dough in half.
• Roll out each half as you would for a pie crust (make sure to dust the roller with flour), then cut the dough into 12 pie-piece shaped pieces. Roll each piece into a crescent shape or shape rolls however you wish.
• Place shaped rolls on the baking sheets, then put in a warm place to rise, about 2 to 3 hours.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients EXCEPT melted butter to bread machine in order as directed by manufacturer.
• Set for dough cycle.
• Check dough after a few minutes and if needed add a little more milk or water to make a smooth dough.
• When dough cycle is complete, remove dough, punch down and let rest for ten minutes.
• Lightly grease 13 x 9 glass baking dish.
• Divide dough into 18 pieces and place in pan.
• Dough will be sticky, so don't try to roll smooth balls.
• The rolls will smooth out when they rise and are baked.
• Let rise in warm place for 30 to 40 minutes until doubled.
• Drizzle melted butter over top of rolls and bake at 400° for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
