Soft Everything Dinner Rolls

These Soft Everything Dinner Rolls are the BEST! They’re light, fluffy and buttery and totally irresistible! Perfect for your every day little sammie, but wonderful enough to grace your holiday table!

I have made these dinner rolls so many times over the years, sometimes plain, sometimes with the everything bagel seasoning and sometimes with a garlic butter topping.

I even tried them with some added cinnamon, walnuts and raisins and they were absolutely delicious. That recipe will be coming at you sometime soon too.

Why You’ll Love this Recipe

What I love about bread recipes is that you’ll only need a handful of ingredients and as long as you carve some time to let the dough rise properly you’ll have the most delicious rolls to enjoy! Better than store-bought for sure.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Step-By-Step Instructions

The first step is to whisk the warm milk, yeast and one tablespoon of the sugar. Cover and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. (If you don’t have a stand mixer, this can all be done by hand with a large mixing bowl and a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula).

The next step is to add the remaining one tablespoon of the sugar, egg, butter, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. With a dough hook mix on low speed for 30 seconds and then add the remaining flour.

You’ll beat on medium speed until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. The dough should be a little sticky, but if it appears to be too wet, add another tablespoon or two of flour. Beat the dough for an additional 2 minutes or knead it by hand on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in the prepared baking dish. Cover rolls with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Allow to rise about 1 hour.

Bake the rolls in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Rotate the pan halfway through baking time. If the tops are browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil. Remove from the oven, brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Allow rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.

These would also be delicious with the Curried Chicken Salad recipe I shared on Monday. They’re fun to make and even better to eat!

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the warm milk, yeast and one tablespoon of the sugar. Cover and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. (If you don't have a stand mixer, this can all be done by hand with a large mixing bowl and a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula).

• Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces.

If the tops are browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil. Remove from the oven, brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Allow rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Sally mentions that you can use all-purpose flour or bread flour for this recipe. I used bread flour.

I also used the Red Star Platinum Yeast as Sally recommended as opposed to just regular yeast.

Most markets now carry already prepared Everything Bagel Seasoning in the spice aisle. If your market doesn't carry it you can use my recipe HERE for my homemade bagel seasoning.
