Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour or 1 1/4 cups white flour

Instructions

  1. Combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl or bread machine pan.
  2. Add all-purpose flour and white whole-wheat flour (or white flour) to the mixture.
  3. Add yeast to the ingredients.
  4. Use a bread machine to knead and rise the dough, or knead by hand and let it rise until doubled.
  5. Shape the dough into rolls and place in a baking dish.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or herbs to the dough. If you don't have white whole-wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead, but the texture may be slightly different. For a sweeter roll, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons. If you want to experiment, try adding shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist that pairs beautifully with Homemade Reese'S Cup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these hot rolls alongside a hearty soup or salad for a complete meal. They also make a great addition to family gatherings or holiday dinners, pairing nicely with dishes like Sour Cream Noodle Pudding. Consider offering a selection of spreads, such as butter or honey, to enhance the rolls' flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm. This keeps them soft and fresh.
