Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat water to 120°F.

- In a large bowl, mix bread flour, nonfat dry milk, salt, oil, eggs (slightly beaten), and the water-yeast mixture.
- Knead on high speed with doughhooks until well blended.
- Gradually add more flour until the dough becomes stiff and manageable.
- Knead until the dough is smooth and satiny.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Knead the dough again with hands for about 2 minutes.
- Roll out the dough and cut out with a biscuit cutter.
- Arrange the cut dough on baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the oil with melted butter. If you’re out of nonfat dry milk, powdered skim milk or whole milk can work as alternatives. Be sure to monitor the dough's texture; if it's too sticky, gradually add more flour, but avoid over-flouring to keep the rolls soft. It’s best to knead until just smooth and satiny.
Serving Suggestions
These yeast rolls are perfect as a side for hearty meals or holiday gatherings. They pair beautifully with Vegetable Dill Dip(Easy And Good) for a delightful appetizer. Serve them warm with butter or as a base for sliders. You can also enjoy them alongside soups and salads for a comforting touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast, but remember to activate it in warm water with sugar before adding it to the dough. This step ensures the yeast is alive and will help the dough rise properly.
How can I tell when the dough has risen enough?
The dough is ready when it has doubled in size and feels slightly puffy to the touch. You can also perform the 'poke test' — gently press your finger into the dough; if the indentation remains, it’s ready for the next step.
What should I do if my rolls are too dense?
Dense rolls can result from insufficient rising time or too much flour. Make sure to let the dough rise until it doubles, and be cautious when adding flour; it's better to start with less and gradually add more as needed. Ensuring a warm environment for rising can also help.
