EASY DINNER ROLLS
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Rise Time: 3 hours
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Serves: 24
Ingredients
1 cup warm water (105° F. to 115° F)
2 packages active dry yeast 4 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
additional melted butter to brush overtop, optional
Instructions
Combine the warm water and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
With the dough attachment , stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Add in flour, 1 cup at a time. The dough should no longer be sticky. You may need a little extra flour. Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough in the Centre. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4 days.
Using butter, coat the inside of a 9×13 inch rimmed baking dish. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board. Using a kitchen scale take the total weight of the dough in ounces and divide by 24 ( should equal to 1.8 ounces per ball. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows (4 rows by 6 rows) in the prepared pan. Cover with a dish towel and let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. You can leave them to rise longer if you need to.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake until rolls are golden brown and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. If they are browning too quickly on top, tent foil over the rolls until finished baking. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired. Break rolls apart to serve.
Notes:
*Before adding the yeast, use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the water (it's important that it's in the temperature range indicated)
*These rolls may be baked early in the day and re-warmed when ready to serve.
