Tips & Tricks for perfecting Soft Dinner Rolls
Using a bread maker makes this recipe super easy!
When taking out the bread dough from bread maker it will be very soft and airy and rather messy to work with. I suggest having a cutting board with flour ready before taking dough out of bread maker. Be patient, adding a little flour at this point makes it very easy to work with
You can make the dough a little more dense by substituting 1/4 cup of almond flour for regular flour
Make sure you sprinkle a little flour on top of dough before you cut it into pieces for rolls
A wet the knife usually works best when cutting the dough for the rolls
Put flour on your hands when forming the rolls so they are less sticky
Background of Soft Dinner Rolls
Sometimes you just want a yummy soft dinner roll and there is nothing better than one that is homemade. The easiest way to make a soft dinner roll is to use a bread maker on the dough setting and let the machine do the hard work for you. I found that using a bread maker is often a great way to mix and knead dough when you want to take a few short cuts.
These Soft Dinner Rolls will rival any restaurant dinner rolls you will ever eat! They are soft, tasty and only have the finest ingredients and no preservatives. These are the best reason to take a chance and make homemade dinner rolls. Also the ingredients will often be ones in your pantry, so it is easy to make some last minute and not have to go to the grocery store to find the missing recipe ingredients.
My family can’t wait until the rolls come out of the oven. The smell totally takes over the house. There is nothing quite as good smelling as baking fresh bread or rolls. These rolls are good with dinner, to make small sandwiches, or as a dessert with jelly or jam. A yummy soft dinner roll that is just plain or with a topping, nothing is better.
