Dinner Rolls

Dinner Rolls are a classic side dish that can elevate any meal. These soft and fluffy rolls are perfect for soaking up gravy or spreading with butter. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make 12 Dinner Rolls that are sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If it doesn't foam up when mixed with warm water and sugar, it's time to replace it.
- Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
- Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten and give the rolls their structure.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. A turned-off oven with the light on is a great spot.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, water, melted butter, and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
7. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet.
8. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
10. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.
