Fluffy Dinner Rolls

If you have been assigned "rolls" for Thanksgiving dinner, you need not look any further than this recipe. This roll recipe is super forgiving and makes the yummiest, fluffiest rolls. It's super easy to double or triple, depending on your crowd size. They do require a lot of rising time, but I promise that's what makes them so delicious. If you have to omit a "rise" step, they will still turn out just fine. That's what makes this recipe so forgiving!


Fluffy Dinner Rolls

Serves: 12 Dinner Rolls Prep Time: 6+ hours

Ingredients: 

1 1/4 cup warm milk (I use skim, and microwave it for about a minute)

1 package of dry yeast 

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 stick butter, melted

1 tsp salt

3 1/2 cup flour, plus a little more if needed

Melted butter for topping

Directions: 

  1. Place your warm milk in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about five minutes. 
  2. Mix in butter, egg, and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add in flour, one cup at a time, along with 1 tsp of salt. 
  4. When all flour is combined, transfer dough to a clean bowl, greased with a bit of melted butter. Cover it and place it in a warm space until the dough has doubled. 
  5. After the dough has doubled, punch the dough down and cover again. 
  6. Repeat this 2-3 times. It will make the rolls so fluffy! 
  7. In a greased baking dish, place balls of dough with some room between them. Let rise again before baking, until the dough reaches the halfway point or above of your dish. 
  8. Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown. 
  9. Immediately brush the tops with melted butter after removing from the oven. 
  10. YUM!

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
