How to make Dinner Rolls - Easy No Knead No Mixer Dinner Rolls Recipe
Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today I am going to show you how to make dinner rolls.
These dinner rolls are incredibly soft, buttery, no kneading required, and no mixer required,
super easy to do, if I can do it you can do it, let's get baking.
First we want to get our yeast started.
I have one cup of milk, I am going to add one half cup of water to it.
And I am going to include all the ingredients down below in the description, so don't worry
about that.
All right so I am going to put this in the microwave and heat it up, and I want it to
be somewhere between 105 and 115 degrees F. So between 45 seconds and 1 minute, on high,
usually works for this.
All right once we have our water and milk heated up I am going to transfer it over to
a larger bowl.
And then add my yeast, 1 Tablespoon of yeast.
And I am also going to add about a teaspoon of my sugar, and that will be food for the
yeast.
Take this whisk and I am going to whisk, agitate this a bit.
And we are going to let this sit, for 5 to 10 minutes until it gets nice and foamy, and
that is how we know the yeast is activated.
If it doesn't get foamy in 5 to 10 minutes, then the yeast is bad, or the water or the
liquid was too hot, and it was killed so you need to start over, so let's let this sit
and let the yeast do it's work.
All right as you can tell our yeast is nice and foamy, it's ready to go.
I am going to set this aside there.
Now I have 4 and half cups of bread flour, I definitely recommend using bread flour,
you can use all-purpose flour, but they will turn out so much better if you use bread flour.
Now I am going to add one fourth cup of sugar, one and a half tsp. of salt, and then with
a whisk I am just going to combine this, and you can sift it all together if you like.
Now I have two eggs here, and I am going to go ahead and whisk these up a little bit with
a fork.
And now I will take my yeast mixture, we will add the eggs, and now I have 4 tbsp. of butter
here, and I am going to melt this just so it is nice and melted, we don't want it too
hot, so go ahead and put it in the microwave, probably 30 seconds, 45 seconds, until is
just completely melted.
Once our butter is melted let's go ahead and add that.
And then with a whisk we are going to whisk this all together, and now we are going to
take our flour sugar and salt mixture, and we are going to add about a half of it at
a time first, and then with a wooden spoon let's go ahead and stir this all together.
And then I kind of go around the edges, and kind of scrape the edges, as I am doing this.
And now I am going to add the rest of this.
And it is going to come all together, but it is still going to be sticky, and then you
just mix it until it all comes together, like this, now the dough is still going to be sticky,
and that is okay, I am just going to push it down a little bit.
And now I am going to transfer it to this larger bowl, I normally make it in this bowl,
but the glass bowl looks a little nicer on film, But I am going to take our sticky dough
here and put it in that bowl, and then I am going to cover it with a damp towel and place
it somewhere warm, and we are going to let this rise for 2, 2 and a half hours, 1 and
a half might work, until it is probably going to triple in size, and it is going to be kind
of bubbly on top, so let's go to that step.
All right and once our dough is risen, take off the the towel, you can see that it came
up all nice, now what we want to do is set this aside, and I am going to take some flour
and lightly dust the top here, and then I am going to grab the dough, and we are going
to just, and I am going to just stretch it out with my hands here.
And I want to make 20 rolls with this, you can make them bigger, like if you did 12 rolls,
they will be a lot bigger, I am going to do 20 so they will be a little bit smaller.
And so I want to divide this in half, I am just using a dough cutter, you can use a knife,
I really like this, and then in half again, half again, and I am just going to kind of
roll it out a bit, so I can get 5 equal pieces here.
So one, two, three, four, five, so now what you do is you take a 13x9 pan and you line
it with parchment paper, and then you take your pieces of dough and you kind of flatten
it out with your palm, and then just push it in to the center like that, and it will
make it nice and smooth on the top.
And if it gets sticky on your hands, then add a little bit more flour, like I am going
to need some more flour, and you just place it so they are just barely touching each other.
So you just do that with the rest of them, so I will turn it back on when its done.
All right once we have them all shaped we are going to take some canola oil spray or
olive oil spray, or alternatively, you can actually just do melted butter on the tops.
This is going to help them to not stick to our plastic wrap, which we are going to put
on the top right now, some cling wrap, all right let's put the cling wrap on, all right
we are going to place this in a warm spot and let them rise for 45 more minutes.
All right it has been about 45 minutes, and as you can see they rose beautifully, and
now what we want to do is bake these in a preheated oven, at 375 degrees F. and we are
going to bake them for 15 to 20 minutes, until they get nice and golden brown on the top.
And then when they come out of the oven they will look like this, they are nice and brown
on top, and while they are still warm we are going to go ahead and take some softened butter,
and go ahead and brush the top of these, just like that.
Amazing, and there you go, soft buttery, amazing dinner rolls.
Now I am going to go ahead and grab the parchment paper, and pull them right out of our pan,
and I am going to go ahead and cut into this one, just to show you what it looks like,
look at that.
Amazing right?
Nice and soft, awesome, all right our dinner rolls are done; they turned out amazing, soft
buttery, awesome.
They are really easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it, go out there and make your
own, I am Matt Taylor this has been another episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, thank
