Buttery Herb Dinner Rolls


We have rarely had a family dinner that didn't have some kind of dinner rolls.  My favorites as a kid were the square ones that came in a plastic bag.  They always stuck a little bit to the cardboard bottom of the package.  They were soft and always delicious.

These rolls remind me of my childhood family dinners.  Only even better.  And with a bread machine, they are really simple to put together.





Buttery Herb Dinner Rolls



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons yeast
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (oregano, basil or rosemary or any combination work really well)


Directions:

Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except melted butter in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Manual cycle.

Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.

Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray.  Divide dough into 22 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cylinder and twist into a knot.

Place each roll into the baking dish, leaving a little room between the rolls.



Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until double. {Do you ever wonder what it means for the dough to double?  Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.  Or it looks about like the pan below!}



Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.   Meanwhile, combine the melted butter and herbs.

Brush tops with melted butter mixture. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack.



These rolls are heavenly.

 Pillow-soft and buttery with the fresh flavor of herbs, these rolls taste like the holidays.


They'll be an instant classic on your holiday table.  And that they are so easy to make can be our secret.
