UNKNOWNCHEF86'S VERY BEST DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Note: Due to its sticky nature, this recipe is best made in a standing mixer with a dough hook; the truly persistent could probably make this by hand with a bowl and a wooden spoon-- these rolls are worth the extra effort.
• Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
• Add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
• Add flour and mix well.
• Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
• Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to"punch down" the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops"; The dough will be very sticky.
• Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the"plops"-- they will smooth out as they raise.
• Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
• Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
• Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.

THE BEST HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS EVER!

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs.
• Add in 5 1/2 cups of flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be slightly sticky and soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise 90 minutes.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and form into 24 rolls. Place on the greased baking sheet in six rows of four. Cover and let rise 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Remove rolls from oven and brush with melted butter. Serve the rolls warm, or to cool, let rest on the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Once cooled completely, store in a plastic bag.
