The Softest Bread Rolls

I'd be happy to share a recipe for incredibly soft bread rolls! These dinner rolls have a tender, pillowy texture that makes them perfect for any meal.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup whole milk, warm (about 110°F)
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• Extra butter for brushing

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt.
3. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and eggs to the flour. Mix until combined.
4. Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Knead the dough (by hand or with a dough hook) for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Punch down the dough and divide into 12-15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
8. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 baking dish, leaving some space between each roll. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top.
11. Immediately brush the hot rolls with melted butter for extra softness and flavor.
12. Let cool slightly before serving.

For extra soft rolls, the key is not to add too much flour, handle the dough gently, and brush with butter straight from the oven. Enjoy!
