Dinner Rolls

I finally baked perfect dinner rolls today! These rolls are super quick to whip up during the week, light, and perfect with a nice bowl of soup.

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees Fahrenheit)

1/2 cup warm milk (110 degrees Fahrenheit)

1 egg

1/3 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup granulated sugar, softened

1 teaspoon salt

3 3/4 cup flour

1 (0.25 oz) package active dry yeast

1/4 cup butter, melted (optional)

Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water, let sit for 10 minutes. Warm milk in saucepan until it bubbles, remove from heat, stir in remaining sugar and 1/3 cup butter until melted and cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, milk mixture, and egg. Stir in flour a little at a time and knead lightly on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Dust a clean countertop with flour. Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll each half into a 12 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Roll up the wedges starting with the wide end. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with butter when they come out.
