Ingredients:
- 4 cups Fairhaven Mill Organic All-Purpose White Flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Fairhaven Mill organic all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture into the well, followed by melted butter and the egg.
- Knead the Dough:
- Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball.
- Second Rise:
- Place the shaped rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a small gap between each. Cover them and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake:
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter:
- While the rolls are still warm, brush the tops with additional melted butter for a soft and shiny finish. (Pro Tip: use honey butter for a sweet & savory taste!)
- Serve:
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, fluffy goodness of these classic dinner rolls made with local organic flour from Fairhaven Mill!
Happy Baking!
