Procrasti-baking for Easter Sunday? ⏰30 minutes (or less) is all it takes for these beautiful, golden brown and foolproof dinner rolls. "The rolls turned out great! Finally found a quick delicious roll recipe!!" -DeborahRecipe link in our profile >>> @redstaryeast4 c. bread flour1 1/3 c. whole milk1/4 c. unsalted butter1 tbs. granulated sugar1 tsp. table salt2 packages (14g) Platinum Yeast2 tbs. melted butter (for brushing, optional)- In a mixing bowl add the flour and make a well in the middle.- In a measuring cup, add the milk, butter, sugar and salt. Microwave in 15 seconds increments until the butter is melted and the mixture is temperature is between 110 and 115°F. Pour half of the milk mixture into the flour well. Scatter the yeast over it. Gently stir and let sit for a few minutes.- Fit the mixer with the dough hook attachment. Start mixing on low speed, slowly pouring the remaining milk mixture until the dough comes together. Knead until dough is soft and elastic and cleans itself from the sides of the bowl, about 3 to 5 minutes.- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and divide it into 12 pieces (approximately 73 grams each). Shape each piece into a ball. Place all the rolls into a greased 11-inch round baking pan or 13X9-inch baking pan. Cover the rolls with a clean tea towel and let rest for about 10 minutes.- Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the rolls for 17-19 minutes or until golden brown. As soon as you remove the rolls from the oven, brush them with melted butter.

Soft, flaky, and delightfully tall! 🍠Did you know using ingredients with a high starch content, like sweet potatoes, enhances the ability for dough to retain moisture, resulting in softer and more tender bake? These dinner rolls take it even further by incorporating butter, milk, and eggs for the most irresistible pillowy texture.
