Description

Make these unbelievably fluffy, tender dinner rolls from standard ingredients. The unorthodox method and a lidded plastic bowl simplify the process.

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
5 teaspoons active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup margarine, melted

Directions

1 Warm milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and mix in eggs and yeast until well combined.
2 Measure flour into a large bowl; make a well in the center of flour. Pour milk mixture into the well; do not stir. Cover with a lid and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
3 Pour melted margarine into flour mixture; mix well. Add more flour if too sticky. Knead lightly. Cover and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
4 Shape dough into 16 rolls and place on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for 20 to 30 minutes.
5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
6 Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are golden brown and bounce back when gently pressed, about 15 minutes.
