day 15 - dinner rolls
(easy)
ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1-1/2 cups warm milk
1 egg
2 tbsp melted butter
steps
In a heatproof bowl, microwave milk for 30-60s until warm but not boiling.
Add active dry yeast to warm milk. Mix and let it sit for 5 minutes or until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl or using the dough hook attachment in a stand mixer, add flour and salt. Mix so that flour and salt are combined.
Add the yeast and milk mixture to the bowl. Mix and knead until shaggy.
Once shaggy, crack an egg into the dough. Continue to mix and knead until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough into a round ball. Drizzle some olive oil into the mixing bowl to prevent sticking.
Place dough ball into the oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.
Deflate the dough gently. Knead for 2-3 minutes and form a smooth dough ball.
Pinch off pieces of dough ~2oz each and form into small balls. Place rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover rolls with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush hot rolls with melted butter immediately after removing from oven. Enjoy!
