Homemade Yeast Rolls! These rolls are light, fluffy, and utterly delicious. π
1 cup water (lukewarm (~110F)
2 tablespoon sugar (granulated)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3-4 cups all-purpose flour (all-purpose)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
ΒΌ cup butter (unsalted, softened)
1 egg
To the bowl of your mixer add the flour, start with 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, egg, water, butter and sprinkle the yeast over. Use the dough hook to mix on low speed, until the dough basically comes clean from the side of the bowl. Add the remaining flour if needed. The dough is soft, but not sticky and itβs ready when it comes clean from the side of the bowl. Should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
Brush a 12 inch skillet or 9Γ13-inch pan with butter.
Cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces. To shape each piece into a roll, take a piece and flatten it with your palm or fingers. Fold it up into a ball by pinching the sides together, turn it over and roll it briefly.
Place them in the prepared skillet or pan.Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. In the meantime place the rolls in a warm environment, covered with a clean damp towel and let rise while the oven preheats, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the damp towel and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on the top. Remove the baking dish or skillet from the oven and immediately brush the buns with melted butter.
