Sweet Dinner Rolls

It's Sunday , and we usually go to my father-in-law's for Sunday dinner. I always make fresh rolls and a dessert (which i made last night). I usually make sure i have the bread dough ready by 8, so i can have them baked by 10:30. Always make sure you have a few hours waiting around to make homemade bread , it's so easy and so tasty but it definitely takes time!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup of sugar
1 stick of butter separated in 1/3 cup melted and the rest for filling the rolls
1 package of active dry yeast
1/2 cup of warm water
1/2 cup of warm milk
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon of salt
3 3/4 cups of sifted bread flour

Mix the package of yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water and wait till it rises, about 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl whisk milk, 1/4 cup of water, egg, melted butter, sugar and salt. Add 2 cups of sifted flour and mix it well .

Add the risen yeast and mix it well . Add the leftover flour and place it in your mixer with a dough hook. Knead it for about 5 minutes and if doing by hand it should take about 10 minutes .


Form a ball with the dough and put in a oiled bowl , cover with plastic film or a towel and set it in a warm place to rise till doubled, about 1 hour.
On a floured surface punch down the down and form it into a circle. With a knife or dough cutter cut the dough in 4 equal parts and then each quarter into 6 pieces .


Bring all 3 corners together and place a small piece of butter in the middle , form it into a small ball and place them on a cookie sheet with a little space in between them to give the dough room to rise again.




Cover with a towel and set aside in a warm place for about 1 hour or until about doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 380F and bake rolls for about 8 minutes , i use a convection oven and bake it for 5 minutes. Remove rolls from the oven and let them rest 10 minutes before serving.
