Enjoy warm, fluffy dinner rolls perfect for any meal. These homemade rolls are easy to make and irresistibly soft.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk (warmed to 110F)
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt (fine sea salt)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (for brushing tops)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (to sprinkle finished rolls)

Instructions 

  • Mix warm milk and sugar, sprinkle yeast, and let sit 1 minute. Wait 5 minutes until foamy, then add melted butter, remaining sugar, and salt.
  • Add flour gradually, mixing until dough is sticky but manageable. Knead for 2 minutes in a mixer or 10 minutes by hand, then let rise in an oiled bowl for 2 hours until doubled.
  • Divide dough into 15-24 pieces, shape into balls, and place on an oiled baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30-60 minutes until puffed.
  • Bake at 375F (190C) for 23-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For softer rolls, let them rise until fully puffed before baking.
