DOUGHS/BREADS
BUTTERY DINNER ROLLS
Fresh from the oven, warm rolls make any dinner extra special.
Makes 10 rolls
1. In a small saucepan combine the
1
⁄2 cup of milk, 6
tablespoons of butter and the sugar. Warm over low
heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and
set aside to cool to room temperature
2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand 5
minutes, or until mixture is foamy. Insert the chopping
blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Add
the fl our and salt; process for 10 seconds on Low.
Combine the beaten egg with the milk and yeast
mixture and with the machine running on Low, slowly
add the liquids through the feed tube and process
until a dough ball forms. Continue processing 45
seconds to knead the dough. Shape the dough into a
smooth ball and place in a 1-gallon sealable plastic
bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Let rise in
a warm place until the dough has doubled in size,
about 45 to 60 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch round
baking pan. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces,
about 2 ounces each. Roll into smooth rounds and
arrange in the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap
and let rise until the rolls have doubled in size, about
30 to 40 minutes. Combine remaining tablespoon of
milk and butter and heat until the butter has melted.
Just before baking, gently brush the rolls with the
melted butter/milk mixture. Bake until golden brown
or an internal temperature of 180°F is reached, about
12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a
rack for about 10 minutes for serving.
4. For a softer roll, brush each with melted butter just
after removing from oven.
