Dinner Rolls



Mmmmmm bread!

I make these whenever I have a little time. They go great with almost any meal, and we eat them as snacks or use them to make mini-sandwiches for lunch. They are BY FAR the best dinner rolls I have ever had.
  • 1 1/8 tsp. yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp. egg replacer + 1 ½ tbs water (equivalent to half an egg)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup milk, scalded and cooled to warm
  • 4 Tbsp. melted butter + 1 Tbsp. for basting
  • 3 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5 minutes. The yeast should look bubbly, similar to this:
Add the sugar, egg replacer, salt, warm milk, and melted butter, mix well.
Slowly add the flour, mix well and knead for 5 minutes or until dough doesn't stick to bowl. The dough will still be pretty wet feeling.
Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour until doubled in size. To tell if a dough has doubled press on it with your finger and the indention shouldn't immediately bounce back.
Punch down dough and form into 1 ½ inch balls.
Place balls in greased and floured 9 inch round pan and let rise 20-30 minutes.
Brush with 1 Tbsp. butter.
Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm or store in the fridge for later.
