Hello, and welcome back to in the kitchen with Matt.
I am your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make soft,
buttery yummy dinner rolls.
These generals are fantastic and perfect for the holidays.
Also, we are going to need them pretty cool.
They're really easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
Oh, let's get baking.
Before we begin below this video in the description box,
you'll find a list of ingredients.
First, I have one cup of whole milk, but you can
use one percent.
Two percent.
And I'm going to add one fourth cup of water.
I'm using filtered water because my top wire tastes
gross and I'm going to add one half teaspoon of sugar
white granulated sugar.
All right, we want to keep this up to be between one hundred
and five and one hundred and fifteen degrees Fahrenheit.
We need this liquid mixture to be hot enough to activate
the yeast, and I'm just gonna do it in the microwave for
about 40 45 seconds, but you can do it on the
stovetop as well.
Now we add two and one fourth teaspoons of active dry yeast,
and we're going to agitate it just a little bit.
All right now, let's just let this sit for about 10 minutes.
I'll get some nice and foamy and frothy if after
10 minutes, it's not foamy.
We need to start again.
The means the yeast is bad or the liquid was too hot
or too cold.
All right.
10 minutes.
All right, it's been about 10 minutes, as you can see,
the yeast is nice and foamy.
It may look more foamy than this or a little bit less
to you, just depending on the yeast that you're using.
All right, let's set this aside.
All right, now we take a large bowl and we're going to go
ahead and add in one half cup of oil.
Vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil.
And then I want to add in one fourth cup of sugar.
If you want your rolls to be a little sweeter, add in
one half cup.
And then let's add in two eggs.
And then we're going to just take a little risk.
Let's make this up really well.
Oh, right now, let's go ahead and come over here and bring in
our yeast mixture and that with a wooden spoon, let's just mix
this together
now, and I have five total cups of flour.
Let's just add about a cup of it.
I'm using bread flour, but you can use all purpose flour,
and we're not going to just dump it all in there.
We may not use all the flour.
Add some more flour,
and now at this point, I'm going to add in my salt one
teaspoon of salt.
Great coming together now to keep and flower.
Normally, I use a bigger bowl, but this looks the
best on camera.
OK.
That she used a little more flour.
Again, don't just dump it all in there.
We may not need at all
since we're not needing this.
We actually want it to be a little sticky.
OK, so about like that, right?
When it starts to come together like this?
See that how it all kind of came together and and it's
going to be kind of sticky.
That's about what you want.
Oh, right.
This is a boy I normally use.
It's a lot bigger.
Let's go ahead and take our dough, and I lightly grease
it with a little bit of oil.
And again, the dough will be a little sticky.
Just fine.
Let's go ahead and put that in there.
And I must cover it with a damp towel like a cloth.
And place it somewhere warm to rise for a couple of hours.
All right, it's been about two hours.
Let's take a look at our dough.
Oh, yeah, look at that.
Awesome.
We've seen a punch it down a little bit
and then we're going to do is take some of our extra flour.
Flour our surface and dump our dough out.
And then we want to just kind of turn to two parts here and
then we want to roll out the dough.
And like, we're making a pizza.
OK.
And we don't want to go too thin.
About three eighths of an inch thick or so.
Somewhere around there,
maybe about a foot in diameter.
So 12 inch diameter circle.
OK, and then we come in here with some melted butter.
Oh yeah, butter.
Let's go ahead and just apply it generously.
Nice.
OK, and then what we want to do is take a pizza roller cutter
and just cut it.
It just depends on what size you want the rolls, if you want
them bigger or smaller like that.
Something like that.
Now we want to get our low crescent shape.
So you just take the N1 here and just kind of
roll it.
Fairly tightly
like that
and just do a little twist like that.
And then when we have those rolled up, we're going to go
ahead and take a pan, a large pan.
You can have them crowded if you want, so they go together
or just do them separately just depends on the style
that you want.
All right.
And then when you're done rolling them all out, you can
go ahead and just cover them with a cloth or like loose with
plastic wrap and let them
rise again for about two more hours.
All right.
They have risen again beautifully.
Now we want to bake them in the oven preheated oven three
hundred and seventy five degrees Fahrenheit
or 190 Celsius.
And we're going to bake them for 15 to 20 minutes until they
are nice and lightly golden brown.
And then when you touch on it, push it down and springs
back on you.
All right.
I'm going to go ahead and bake these all.
And when they come out of the oven, they'll look
something like this and go ahead and take some of
your melted butter.
And pasted on the tops.
Amazing.
And you just let them cool for a little bit.
I'm going to go in here.
Open one of these up and show you.
Look at that what it looks like.
So soft.
Awesome.
All right, our generals are done,
turned out fantastic.
Really easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
I'm Matt Taylor.
