Amish Dinner Rolls Bread Machine Recipes

BEST BREAD MACHINE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to bread machine in the above order, and press "dough" setting.
• When done, transfer dough to a lightly-floured counter top and shape into a ball.
• Cut ball in half, and then cut those two pieces in half and so on, until you have 16 pieces. (sprinkle more flour on your counter if dough starts to stick)
• Shape your pieces into round buns, and place in a sprayed 9 x 13 baking dish or 2 smaller dishes. Leave about an inch between buns.
• Brush buns with melted butter, and cover the baking dish with Plastic Wrap. Set in warm spot (about 80 degrees Farenheit) until buns have doubled in size - about 40 mins. (I usually heat my oven to about 200, and then turn my oven right OFF, and place the dish in there with the door open a crack.
• Once doubled, remove plastic wrap, and bake 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees.

AMISH DINNER ROLLS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer (usually, liquids first, yeast last).
• Program the machine for 2 lb dough cycle, and press Start.
• Check the dough about 10 minutes before the end of the final kneading cycle and adjust its consistency as necessary by adding additional water or flour to form a soft, smooth ball.
• DON'T SKIP THIS STEP! Allow the machine to complete its cycle, then allow the dough to remain in the machine till it's doubled in bulk, perhaps an additional 30 minutes or so.
• To make stand-alone rolls, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. If you want to make soft-sided, pull-apart rolls, divide the dough into 15 pieces. This will make quite large rolls. If you prefer smaller rolls you can easily get 24 from this amount of dough.
• Place the 16 dough balls onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet or sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Or place the 15 dough balls into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch pan, spacing them evenly in five rolls of three balls each. If I'm making 24 soft-sided rolls I use a baking sheet with a rim and create six rows of four buns.
• Cover the pan(s) with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, (I just use a clean dish towel) and allow the rolls to rise for about 2 hours, until they're quite puffy.
• Bake the rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're golden brown. In my convection oven I bake two trays at a time (the large buns) on the convection bake setting for about 18 minutes.
• Remove them from the oven, carefully turn them out of the pan -- the pull-apart rolls will come out all in one piece -- and brush them with melted butter, if desired.

AMISH BUTTER AND EGG DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk to blend and set aside for 8 minutes, or until yeast has activated and is very frothy.
• Add 3 cups flour, 3 tablespoons butter, egg, and salt to the bowl. With the dough hook fitted, turn mixer on medium speed until the dough comes together into a ball. Turn speed down to a "2" (medium-low) and continue kneading for 3 minutes, until dough ball is smooth. If your dough is too wet, add a little bit more flour until the dough ball forms.
• Cover bowl with a tea towel and set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Scrape dough out of the bowl and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
• Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange dough balls in the baking dish. Cover again with the tea towel and set aside until well risen and puffy, 30 to 40 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool a few minutes. Brush remaining tablespoon softened butter over the top of the warm rolls, allowing the butter to soak in.

BREAD MACHINE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except melted butter in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycle.
• Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.
• Grease large cookie sheet with shortening. Divide dough into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
• Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack.

AMISH DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Bread Machine Method: Place all ingredients into the pan of your bread machine in order recommended by the manufacturer (usually, liquids first, yeast last). Program the machine for dough or manual, and press start. Allow the machine to complete its cycle
• 2. Shaping: To make stand-alone rolls, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. If you want to make soft-sided, pull-apart rolls, divide the dough into 15 pieces. This isn't as challenging as it sounds: first, divide the dough into three equal pieces. Pinch off one piece, about the size of a handball. Gently roll the dough balls under your cupped fingers till they're nice and round.
• 3. Place 16 dough balls onto a parchment-lines or lightly greased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them. Place 15 dough balls into a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan, spacing them evenly in five rolls of three balls each. Cover pan or sheet with proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, allow to rise for about 2 hours.
• 4. Baking: Bake the rolls in a preheated 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes till they're golden brown. Yields 15 or 16 rolls. (I made them smaller for cooking club)
