Fluffy Perfection: Semi-Home-Made Dinner Rolls

Introducing “Semi-Home-Made Dinner Rolls” – a delightful treat that combines the satisfaction of homemade goodness with the convenience of a bread machine. These sumptuous rolls are a true delight for any occasion!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of softened butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• A pinch of salt
• 4 cups of all-purpose or bread flour
• 1 package of active dry yeast (approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons)

Here’s how to create these delightful rolls:

1. Carefully add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order specified above, and set it on the dough setting.
2. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
3. Once the dough is ready, take it out of the bread pan in small portions and gently shape them into balls, slightly larger than a golf ball but not as big as a baseball.
4. Arrange the dough balls on a greased baking sheet (you can also use non-stick spray to avoid any sticking).
5. Find a cozy spot on the stovetop for your baking sheet, allowing the rolls to rise for approximately 15 minutes. This step enhances their fluffy texture and delightful appearance.
6. Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of your preheated oven. Let the rolls bake until their tops turn a gorgeous golden brown, usually taking around 15 to 20 minutes.
7. As the rolls emerge from the oven, spread a touch of melted butter on their tops for an extra touch of richness.

Now, it’s time to savor the goodness of these generously sized dinner rolls. If you prefer smaller rolls, you can easily shape them into smaller dough balls, which will require a shorter baking time, typically around 10 minutes.

Enjoy these Semi-Home-Made Dinner Rolls, perfect for bringing joy to your dining table or any special gathering. The blend of homemade charm and bread machine convenience ensures that your loved ones will adore every bite!
