Sweet Dinner Rolls

I have been using this dinner roll recipe for 2 years now and don't think I will ever find a replacement recipe that comes close!  These rolls are light and fluffy.  You can adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to make them more or less sweet depending on your preference.  The 1/3 cup of sugar I use lends a sweetness to the bread similar to that of Hawaiian bread.  I make these rolls around Christmas time and they are perfect for leftover ham and cheese sandwiches!  

Yields: 20 rolls

1 cup warm milk 

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tsp (or 1 envelop) yeast 

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg
1 tsp salt

3 1/4 cup flour

Combine Milk, Butter, Yeast, and Sugar in mixing bowl. Cover with towel or plastic wrap and let proof 10 minutes.

Add in Egg, Salt, and Flour.  Knead with dough hook in Kitchen Aide for 5 minutes on level 3.  Or knead by hand for 10 minutes.  

Divide dough into 20 balls and place in greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.  Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size. 

Remove plastic wrap.  Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven.  Brush tops with melted butter (optional) and let cool. 

Enjoy the smell of homemade bread throughout your home!!!
