These soft and fluffy dinner rolls are perfect for any meal, offering a delightful texture and flavor.
Combine the sugar and yeast in the warm water in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
This step confirms that the yeast is active and ready to use.
In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and salt.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add the yeast mixture to the milk mixture and stir to combine.
Mix gently to avoid deflating the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the flour in increments to avoid lumps and achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
A warm, draft-free environment is ideal for proofing the dough.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
Use a kitchen scale for precise portioning if desired.
Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place two balls in each muffin tin cup.
Placing two balls in each cup creates a unique pull-apart roll.
Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise again until puffy.
This second rise ensures the rolls are light and airy.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with melted butter.
Brushing with butter adds flavor and a shiny finish.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
