How To Make dinner rolls

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch dish.
• 2

  Warm the milk in the microwave until 110 degrees. Use a digital food thermometer to read the temperature after you warm it. Do not put the thermometer in the microwave.
• 3

  Gently whisk the milk, yeast, and a tablespoon of honey. Cover with the measuring cup or bowl with plastic wrap and let it be for about 7-10 minutes for the yeast to bloom.
• 4

  Add the bloomed yeast, beaten egg, cut butter, salt, and 1 cup of flour to the stand mixer bowl. Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on low. Beat for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• 5

  Add the remaining flour and beat on medium for about 2 minutes or until the dough starts to pull away from the sides. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
• 6

  Reduce the speed to 2 or low and let the machine knead the dough for 5 minutes.
• 7

  Coat a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and turn to coat it with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise to double in size. This can take 1-2 hours.
• 8

  Punch the dough down. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and, using a bench scraper or a large sharp knife, cut the dough into 15 sections. Using your hands, pull the edges of the dough up and turn it over seam-side down. Use the floured surface and your hands to gently roll it into a ball.

  As you roll them, put the rolls in the prepared dish and cover them with plastic wrap. Let rise for about an hour. Brush with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, brush again with butter.
