Sweet Dinner "Rolls"

While these didn't look very good, they tasted great! I made the mistake of putting them in a pan that way WAY too small for them. Next time I will use a bigger pan and I imagine they will look more like a normal dinner roll. I got this recipe from Carrie's blog.

Sweet Dinner Rolls

Source: Carrie's Sweet Life originally from Amber's Delectable Delights

Ingredients:

1/2 c water
1/2 c warm milk
1 egg
1/3 c butter, softened
1/3 c white sugar
1 tsp salt
3 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast
1/4 c butter, softened (for topping rolls)

Directions:

Place water and milk in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute or until liquids reach (110 degrees F/45 degrees C). Pour liquids into mixer bowl; add sugar and stir to dissolve. Add in yeast and let set for 10-20 minutes to proof (the mixture will be foamy).

Attach the bowl to the mixer and mix on low speed adding the salt, 1/3 cup butter and egg. Once well mixed add in the flour 1/4 cup at a time. Remove the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook. With the mixer; knead the dough for 5-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Remove the dough from the bowl and shape into desired shape. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour. (You can place a bowl of very hot tap water in the bottom of your stove and place the rolls on the rack above it). Gently brush the tops of the rolls with half of the remaining softened butter.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Upon removing the rolls from the oven brush them with remaining softened butter once again.
