Ingredients
To make one-hour dinner rolls, you’ll need:
- Warm Water – 1 cup (110°F or warm to the touch)
- Granulated Sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Active Dry Yeast – 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- All-Purpose Flour – 3 cups
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Unsalted Butter – 4 tablespoons, melted (plus more for brushing)
- Egg – 1 large
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy.
2. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this to the yeast mixture, along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.
4. Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for 20 minutes.
5. Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Final Rise
Cover the rolls with the towel again and let them rise for another 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Bake the Rolls
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Brush them with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for an extra-soft finish.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Pair them with butter, jam, or any of your favourite spreads.
Tips for Success
- Measure Flour Correctly: Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off to avoid dense rolls.
- Use Fresh Yeast: Ensure your yeast is active by checking the expiration date.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the dough and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight.
