No Meh! buns here.

Dinner Rolls are fine - they aren't really my thing. Sure I could buy a bag of frozen dough balls, but the bag is usually too big, I underbake them, and they are... meh. For Easter I opted to make these dinner rolls the day before and let them rise in the oven overnight, take them out a hour before baking. An hour was all I had since we had an hour between getting home from church and my well planned schedule of when things needed to be in the oven for the dinner to go off as planned. These rolls were pretty delicious and made a fine ham bun for dinner! These aren't meh at all.

Homemade Dinner Roll
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cold
1 tbsp dry active yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 egg

Measure the milk into a microwave safe bowl. Heat until boiling.
Place the cold stick of butter into the hot milk. Let the butter melt and then stir. Cool until almost room temperature.
Mix the warm water, yeast and 1/2 tsp of sugar together. Let the yeast activate while the milk is cooling. The yeast will get very bubbly, this means the yeast is alive.
Pour the room temperature milk and the yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add in the flour, the remaining sugar, salt and egg, mixing together until thoroughly combined. This dough will be very sticky, if needed, add up to an additional 1/2 cup of flour. You should be able to touch the dough quickly without the dough sticking to your finger but if you were to set your finger on the dough for a second it would stick.
Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough should rise to nearly double the size.
Punch down the dough and pour out onto a floured surface. Flip the dough so both sides are floured.
Portion the dough out into 15 equal sized pieces, you can just eyeball this. I use a bench scraper to help cut the dough.
Roll each portion into a ball and then place in a greased 9x13 pan.
Cover and let the rolls rise while the oven is preheating.
Move the rack to lower in the oven and then preheat oven to 400° F.
Once the oven has heated, bake the rolls for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush cooked rolls with melted butter.
Best eaten within the first 24 hours. Enjoy!
