Ingredients
Dinner Rolls:
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
2 teaspoons yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups warm milk
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Brushing:
1 egg white plus 2 tablespoons water (egg wash for brushing before baking)
2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing after baking
Instructions
Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine yeast and sugar. Add warm milk, let it bubble for 5 minutes. Mix in oil, salt, and eggs. Gradually add flour, knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into 16-24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in a baking pan. Allow to rest and rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the rolls with egg wash for a golden brown color. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter before serving.
Notes
You can customize by adding herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
These rolls freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time.
