Store-bought is fine, but there’s something special about the smell of fresh bread baking in your house. These dinner rolls are easy to make and just require a little patience for the double-rise of the dough. You end up with light-and-fluffy rolls that are great with a slab of butter or to soak up the gravy from your holiday plate.

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1½ cups warm water and 1 packet instant yeast. Gently stir and let sit for a few minutes to activate the yeast. Add in ¼ cup sugar, 3 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon baking powder.

Mix on low for about 7 minutes, incorporating 6 tablespoons softened butter about 1 tablespoon at a time. Add remaining 1 cup of flour after the first few minutes. Cover the bowl and let dough rise for 1 hour.

Weigh dough and separate into 12 even balls (about 3 ounces each). Form buns and place in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish. Loosely cover and let rise for 45 minutes. Brush tops with egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water). Bake in 400 degree F preheated oven for 16 minutes.
