This can be made into bread or rolls, and is really only 60 minutes from the time you start mixing to the time they come out of the oven! My husband's family will not let me make anything but these for holiday get-togethers.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you've never made dinner rolls before and are intimidated, give this recipe a try. It's a very simple roll recipe made in a stand mixer. The dough only rises once, so it is a time-saving as well. Once baked, the roll is substantial, yet soft and fluffy. There's a slight sweetness to them.

How To Make 60 minute rolls

Test Kitchen Tips
We used 2 cups of milk while making this recipe and it worked quite well. If your dough is still a little too sticky, slowly add additional flour.
  • Yeast, sugar, and warm water in a bowl.
    1
    Mix the yeast, 2 Tbsp sugar, and the warm water in a 2 cup glass measuring cup or small bowl. Set aside to proof (not only starts the yeast working, but you will know your water was not too hot or your yeast dead, as well).
  • Heating milk and butter.
    2
    In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and the butter. DO NOT LET BOIL; you just want it warm.
  • Beating eggs and sugar together.
    3
    Beat the eggs, remaining 2/3 cup sugar, and the salt together with a mixer set on medium for about 2 minutes.
  • Adding milk/butter mixture to the eggs.
    4
    Add the milk/butter mixture and stir. Make sure this is not too hot or else you'll end up cooking the eggs.
  • Pouring in the yeast mixture.
    5
    Add the yeast mixture and stir.
  • Dough hook attached and adding flour.
    6
    Attach the dough hook to your mixer. Slowly add the flour and mix until a stiff dough forms.
  • Mixing until dough pulls away from the bowl.
    7
    The dough will pull away from the side of the bowl. You may or may not need all the flour. Sometimes it takes more, sometimes less (no idea why). *If mixing by hand, add the flour until a stiff, sticky dough forms. Dump the dough onto a floured surface and work/knead in flour until a smooth dough forms.
  • Cutting pieces of the dough.
    8
    Grease whatever pan you will be baking in, be it a loaf pan or a 13X9-inch baking dish. Form your dough into either 2 loaves of bread or a bunch of rolls (depends on how big you make them) and set aside in a warm, draft-free place to rise. Cover with a damp dishtowel for more draft protection.
  • Rolls baking in the oven.
    9
    When the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are brown.
  • Inside of a 60 Minute Dinner Roll.
    10
    Bread is done when you thump the top with a knuckle and it sounds hollow.
