My favorite dinner roll recipe! I've been using this recipe for years and after one bite you'll see why! They are incredibly soft and fluffy, perfectly tender and chewy, deliciously buttery and beautifully golden brown. I'm yet to meet someone who doesn't love them.
05Transfer dough to a greased, large mixing bowl and cover bowl with greased plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise in a warm place, free from draft, until double in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
06Punch dough down all over. Divide dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
07Roll each dough ball out on a lightly floured surface into a large circle about 13 - 14 inches across (try to keep dough as much of an even thickness as possible).
08Spread each circle of dough evenly with 2 Tbsp softened butter.
09Cut each circle into 4 equal quarters, then each quarter into 3 wedges (just imagine cutting pizza slices or pie slices). Roll each wedge up, beginning on wide (outside) edge.
10Transfer rolls to a buttered 18 by 13-inch cookie sheet (the tip of the rolled wedge should be tucked on the bottom. Note that you can fit 3 rows of 8 rolls).
11Cover rolls loosely with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
12During the last 15 minutes of rising preheat oven to 375 degrees.
13Remove plastic wrap and bake rolls in preheated oven for 15 - 19 minutes until golden brown.
14Remove from oven and brush with remaining 3 Tbsp butter (preferably melted). Serve warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
