Dinner Rolls (Milk Bread Recipe)

Credit: Betty Crocker's Cookbook {from Summer Hornstein}

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar (with 1 Tbsp of it set aside)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 package yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
• 1/2 cup warm water (approx. 110 degrees)
• 1/2 cup very warm milk
• 1 egg

Directions:

Mix water and yeast along with 1 Tbsp of sugar that was set aside. Let sit for about 10 minutes until yeast bubbles and mixture doubles in size.

In a separate bowl, mix the very warm milk, butter, and remaining sugar. Add to water/yeast mixture. Then add egg and mix.

Next, combine flour and salt; add to mixture of wet ingredients. Mix well, then knead by hand for 5-10 minutes. Lightly line a bowl with oil and place dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover lightly with Pam-sprayed plastic wrap. Let rise 30-60 minutes, or until dough has doubled in size.

Shape dough into rolls (crescent shape works wonderfully!!) and let rise another 15-30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Makes about 15 rolls.
