Jennifer Garner's Pretend Cooking Show - Episode 59: Dinner Rolls

#PretendCookingShow: Dinner Rolls. #KitchenAidAmbassador An homage to Pat Garner on Mother’s Day. ♥️ My super cozy mom made dinner rolls in the middle of the week, just because—and I want to be like her. Luckily, I have my BFF to help me out—my KitchenAid Stand Mixer, the #1 Mixer Brand in the world.* Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! 🌺

Fluffy Dinner Rolls (via Mel's Kitchen Cafe )
Ingredients
1 ¼ cups milk
¼ cup water
4 Tbsp salted butter, at room temperature or melted, plus more for brushing
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp instant or active dry yeast
1 large egg
1 ¼ tsp salt
4 ¼ to 4 ½ cups AP flour
.
Instructions:
1. Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until milk is steaming. Pour into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
2. Add water, 4 Tbsp butter, and sugar. Let mixture cool until warm, 105-110℉ on an instant-read thermometer.
3. Stir in yeast and let rest for 5-7 mins until mixture is foamy.
4. Add egg, salt, and flour, starting with 3 ¾ to 4 cups flour, and mix, adding additional flour gradually, just until dough clears the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, sticky ball. Don’t over flour the dough.
5. Knead for 5-6 mins, until dough is soft and smooth.
6. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, ~1 hour.
7. Grease a 9x13 inch pan and set aside, lightly punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly greased countertop.
8. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in the prepared pan, spacing ½ inch or so apart (four rows of three rolls.)
9. Cover with greased plastic wrap or with a towel and let rise until doubled, ~1 hour. The rolls should be very puffy with the sides touching.
10. Preheat the oven to 375℉. Place an oven rack in the middle position.
11. Bake rolls for 15-20 mins, until golden on top and bottom. Brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven. Serve warm or let cool completely on the pan.
12. Yum.
