Easy Mixing Bowl Dinner Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• PREHEAT OVEN TO 375 DEGREES F. about 15 to 20 minutes before you are ready to bake them. Combine warm water, sugar, & yeast in a medium bowl. Stir until completely dissolved. Let sit about 10-15 minutes until it has puffed on top.NOTE: If water is too hot it will kill the yeast, if it is too cold it will not activate. This is what the yeast looks like after 15 minutes and it is activated.
• Combine oil or butter & salt with 6 cups of bread flour, then add water and yeast mixture, in a large MIXING bowl. Beat with a regular paddle on medium for about 2 minutes, just until it is mixed together.
• Switch from paddle to the DOUGH HOOK, THEN ADD AN ADDITIONAL 1 1/2 CUPS FLOUR.KNEAD DOUGH FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES.
• NOW TURN DOUGH ONTO A FLOURED SURFACE with the remaining 1/2 cup flour, and you might need more, but hand knead for a few minutes to remove air bubbles.
• Next add about 2 tablespoons oil to bottom of a large bowl, add the dough and then grease on all sides. Cover loosely with clear plastic wrap.NOTE: I spray wrap first with cooking spray to keep the dough from sticking when it rises to the top. Allow dough to rise until it is about double in size about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours in a warm draft free area.
• Punch down and shape into desired roll shapes.Roll out on a floured surface. Makes about 18 rolls in a 9X13 X2 inch pan or about 13 Rolls in a 9 inch pan. Roll and cut out with biscuit cutter, dip in melted butter, fold the buttered side outward and the floured side together inward & place in buttered or greased baking pan. I made 4- 9 inch size pans with 13 rolls in each pan. NOTE: I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED IT IS MUCH EASIER TO BRUSH THE DOUGH WITH MELTED BUTTER ONCE IT IS ROLLED OUT, THEN CUT WITH BISCUIT CUTTER, AND KEEP THE BUTTERED SIDE TO THE OUTSIDE AND THE FLOURED SIDE IN.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap(spray first for easy removal) and let rise till double in size about 45 minutes. Carefully remove wrap and bake uncovered 18 minutes until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter immediately after removing from oven.
• NOTE: MAY FREEZE IN ORIGINAL PAN. but cover with large freezer bag or use foil & wrap tight.To preheat later, remove from freezer, cover loosely with foil, place in preheated 350 degree F. Oven for about 15 to 20 minutes if frozen. If fully thawed, place in preheated oven covered with foil for 5 -6 minutes. Will also make about 3 loaves of bread or cinnamon rolls.
• Please note I made a pan for one of the neighbors, and gave her the heating instructions, I pre cooked them all but a few minutes, just before they were completely browned and all she needed to do was leave them in the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes until they were browned.
• Main ingredients needed to make the rolls, I prefer to use Bread Flour, and I like to USE A THERMOMETER to make sure I get an accurate read on the temperature of the water. PLEASE NOTE I ALWAYS PRINT OUT EACH RECIPE I PLAN TO MAKE FOR THE HOLIDAY AND THEN TAKE THEM TO THE UPS STORE AND HAVE THEM COILED BOUND TOGETHER, FOR EASIER ORGANIZATION.

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix milk, yeast, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or hand mixer. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stop adding flour when it is no longer sticky. Use your mixer's dough hook attachment for 10 minutes or knead by hand. Place in a buttered bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. This can take a few hours at room temperature, but it can go faster if you turn the oven to 200, turn it off, and then place the bowl in the oven (make sure it's turned off!) After dough has risen, punch down gently and divide into 12 equal pieces. Form the dough pieces into a roll. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 glass dish. Let rise until doubled (again, using the oven trick can make it go faster). Once rolls have risen, bake at 375F for 18-25 minutes. Brush with butter.
