Perfectly Easy Dinner Rolls

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (105 f to 115 f)
• 2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 -4 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• butter, melted (optional)

Recipe

• 1 combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl. let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• 2 stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt. beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix (some flour may not be needed). cover and refrigerate 2 hours or up to 4 days.
• 3 grease a 9×13 baking pan. turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface. divide dough into 24 equal-sized pieces. you can also pat it out flat and cut into squares (even easier!)
• 4 roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan.
• 5 cover and let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about one hour.
• 6 preheat oven to 375°f bake until rolls are golden brown, 15–20 minutes. brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired. break rolls apart to serve.
