That was a great read. Here is my recipe for Classic Dinner Rolls. It does use an egg.
Classic Dinner Rolls
3 ½ to 3 ¾ cups AP or Bread flour
¼ c sugar
1 pkg (Rapid Rise or Regular) yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
½ cup water
¼ c soft butter or margarine
1 tsp salt
½ cup milk
1 LG egg
1 tsp melted butter or margarine
I proof the yeast.
In a large bowl mix 2 cups of the flour soft butter, salt and mix.
(option, you can combine the sugar, yeast with the ingredients above and add the warm water to the milk)
Or add the proofed yeast and mix.
Warm the milk either in a pan on the stove or in a microwave safe container in the microwave.
Add the warm milk and the egg to the mix and beat on low speed for 1 minute.
( mix the warm water with the milk if you're putting the sugar and yeast directly in the flour)
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally and beat for another minute.
Combine the rest of the flour a little at a time until the remaining flour is incorporated .
Knead the dough on a floured countertop for around 5 minutes. (I use my KitchenAid with the dough hook)
Place dough in a greased bowl and turn dough to grease all sides. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for around 1 hour
Spray the bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
Deflate the dough and cut into 15 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball, place in pan and brush dough balls with the melted butter.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough balls rise until double in size.
Put the oven rack just below the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. For a softer crust brush the tops of the warm rolls with butter. Remove from the pan. Serve warm or cooled.
