Dinner Rolls

Hi All:

Does anyone have a good receipe for Dinner Rolls.  I'm going to a dinner on the 4th and said I would bring the dinner rolls.  Then I stoped and thought I don't have a receipe for dinner rolls.  Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks,

Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until dough begins to pull away from side of bowl.
Lightly grease top of dough with oil.

Lightly grease 12 medium muffin cups.
Punch dough down.
Divide dough evenly into 12 pieces.

While dough is rising for the second time, preheat oven to 350°F Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

 

These are also very good:

very good. Thanks Wayne, I made them for Thanksgiving. I've collected a few recipes for dinner rolls as I just got into making them this year. This recipe is the basic recipe comparing it to other recipes and is easy to make. I would use this for Hamburger rolls also, the ingredients are the same.

This is my staple Thanksgiving Dinner roll - it's got a beautiful color and, although slightly too sweet for my taste, goes over very well with guests. The brush with egg and cream before baking is a really nice finish. Also, I'll usually retard this over night before shaping and final rise. - I think it's a James Beard recipe.

Sweet Potato Rolls

2 packages yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water (110-115ºF)
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon salt
3 eggs, one of which is beaten together with 2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 to 3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes

Combine yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar and warm water, let proof for 5 minutes.

Add remaining sugar, butter, salt, and 2 of the eggs to the yeast mixture, stir to blend well. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, and then stir in the sweet potato. ( I do this all in my Kitchen Aid)

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 3 or 4 minutes adding flour if necessary to prevent dough from sticking to the board. When the dough is smooth, shape it into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl and let sit in a warm place until it doubles in size - about 1 1/2 hour.

Punch down the dough and shape into 2 dozen golfball-sized balls. Place them on parchment, or butter-coated cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and cream mixture.

Bake in 375 F oven for 20 minutes.
