Ingredient Substitutions

All-purpose flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and increased fiber content. Use 3 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour instead of 4 cups of all-purpose flour, as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid. For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, but expect a slightly different texture.

Warm milk can be substituted with non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or oat milk for a vegan version. Use the same amount as regular milk, but ensure it’s unsweetened and unflavored to maintain the recipe’s intended taste.

Melted butter can be replaced with coconut oil or olive oil for a dairy-free option. Use the same amount as butter, but note that coconut oil may impart a subtle coconut flavor. For a lower-fat alternative, unsweetened applesauce can be used, though this may result in a denser texture. Use 3 tablespoons of applesauce to replace 4 tablespoons of butter.

  • Calories: 2100-2300
  • Protein: 40-50 g
  • Fat: 80-90 g
  • Carbohydrates: 320-350 g

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (for glazing)

Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of warm milk with 1 tablespoon of instant yeast.

Mix well to activate the yeast, then set aside for a few minutes to allow it to begin foaming.

Step 2: Add Additional Ingredients and Mix

To the yeast mixture, add ⅓ cup of granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Stir until everything is well dissolved.

Gradually add 4 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing as you go.

Avoid adding all the flour at once to ensure a smooth combination.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface.

If the dough feels too sticky at any point, sprinkle additional flour as needed.

Knead the dough for about 4 to 5 minutes until it becomes soft, smooth, and just slightly sticky.

Step 4: Let the Dough Rise

Place the kneaded dough into a bowl that has been greased with melted butter to keep it soft and moist.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.

The time this takes may vary based on the warmth of your kitchen.

Step 5: Shape the Rolls

Once the dough has risen, transfer it back to a floured surface and cut it in half.

Divide each half into equal pieces, shaping each piece into round, smooth balls.

This recipe yields 15 to 20 dinner rolls.

Step 6: Second Rise and Bake

Place the shaped dough balls into a greased 9×13 baking pan, ensuring there is space between each for rising.

Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they are nicely puffed.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

Step 7: Finish and Serve

After baking, immediately brush the rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish.

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.

They are best enjoyed warm, offering a fluffy and delightful experience.
