Easy Yeast Rolls
A novice baker can make these Homemade Yeast Rolls perfectly their very first try. Use this foolproof recipe to transform simple ingredients into soft, fluffy dinner rolls.
Ingredients
- ½ cup warm tap water about 110 degrees
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast 1/4 ounce
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, divided
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 ¾ cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- In bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, stir together water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over water and let stand 5 minutes.
- Add egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix until combined.
- With mixer on low speed, add flour 1/2 cup at a time until all flour is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally.
- Increase speed to medium and knead dough in mixer for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Divide dough into 3 even pieces, then divide each of those pieces into 3 even pieces, so that you have 9 pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and place balls, evenly spaced, into prepared pan (7 around the outside of the pan and 2 in the middle).
- Cover pan with clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise 10 minutes.
- Evenly brush rolls with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with extra pinch of salt. Transfer to oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown.
Notes
- You’ll need 110 degrees F tap water to bloom your yeast. The best way to determine the temperature of your water accurately is by dunking a probe thermometer [affiliate link] into your measuring cup of water.
- If your yeast isn’t foamy and fizzy after sitting in the warm water and sugar mixture for 5 minutes, that probably means your yeast isn’t active. Don’t continue the recipe, it’ll be a waste of ingredients. Buy new yeast and try again.
