For our cousin’s night dinner last week, I found a random recipe online for dinner rolls. I have done parker house type rolls before and also have done other general dinner rolls (without great success). I didn’t have any milk on hand so found a recipe that didn’t need it. Overall these rolls actually turned out to be quite the hit (nice and soft) at the dinner so decided I should save it here for future reference.
Ingredients:
- 3-3.5 cups AP flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 Tablespoons white sugar (I only had turbinado sugar so used that)
- 1.5 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Egg
- Mix water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5-10 minutes to bloom
- Add egg, oil, salt, and 3 cups flour. Knead until smooth and slightly sticky (can add more flour) – I did this by hand, can do in a mixer
- Cover the dough with damp towel and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size
- Grease 9 x 13 inch baking pan
- Punch dough down and place on lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 14-16 pieces and roll into ball.
- Cover and let rise and double in size again
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Bake for 20 minutes or until browned
- Brush with softened butter or oil
- Let sit 5 minutes then move to cooling rack
I made this recipe again and made some bigger buns for possible sandwich/burgers. They grew a bit more together than I anticipated.
Crumb from latest batch along with one use case as turkey burger bun
