There’s nothing better than warm, fresh dinner rolls with melted butter. My family loves these soft and fluffy buns, and they’re perfect for tea, as a side dish, or with just about anything. This recipe is incredibly simple and only requires four ingredients!
Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water (adjust as needed)
- 2 Tablespoons cooking oil
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and dry yeast.
- Make a small well in the center and pour in about 2 cups of warm water. Adjust the water amount to create a shaggy dough.
- Mix all the ingredients together, then slowly knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Be sure to fold the dough while kneading.
- If the dough is too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour. You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to make it easier to form a ball.
- When you poke the dough and it bounces back, it’s ready. Cover and let it rise for 30-45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch out the air and knead for another 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces. This batch makes 12 rolls, depending on your preferred size.
- Grease a baking pan with butter or cooking oil, then place the rolls in the pan.
- Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes or until they double in size.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Mix 2 teaspoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of water to create a thick syrup.
- The buns are done when the tops are a rich golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Brush the sugar mixture over the tops of the warm buns to give them a glossy, slightly sweet finish.
