This is a very versatile dinner roll dough that also works great for making your own burger or hot dog buns. They actually remind me a bit of the dinner rolls my grandma made when I was a kid.

    Method

  • 1. In a large measuring cup, dissolve both yeast and sugar in lukewarm water
  • 2. Let the yeast mixture stand on the counter for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to "bloom"
  • 3. Meanwhile, in a medium size mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, salt and sugar and add the egg
  • 4. After the yeast has developed, gradually add to the dry ingredients in the bowl, along with 5 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 5. Begin to blend the ingredients together, using a large spoon incorporating more liquid as you go
  • 6. After incorporating all of the flour place turn the dough then place into a buttered bowl, and cover with a damp cloth
  • 7. Allow the dough to sit in a warm, draft free place, covered for 1 hour or until doubled
  • 8. Uncover and punch down the dough. Use a medium size ice cream scoop, lightly sprayed with cooking spray, to separate the dough into even portions
  • 9. Roll into a ball in your hands, gently stretching and folding under. Arrange side by side, in a buttered non-stick metal baking pan
  • 10. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops
  • 11. Cover with a damp cloth and allow the rolls to rise again until doubled, about one hour
  • 12. Pre-heat oven to 400°F / 205°C
  • 13. Uncover rolls and place into a preheated oven. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until puffed and golden
  • 14. Serve immediately with butter
