I was in a pinch before a small dinner party and needed a quick dinner roll. Bread and quick are not usually two words that go together. Between creating gluten and rise time, it usually takes hours or days to make the perfect bread. Let me tell you... these are the BEST buttery dinner rolls and the best part is that they take less than an hour! The recipe I used is from The Baker Upstairs.
INGREDIENTS
1½ cups Water, warm
1 tbs. Active Dry Yeast
2 tbs. Granulated Sugar
2 tbs. Unsalted Butter, softened
1 tsp. Salt
4 cups All-Purpose Flour
Topping:
3 tbs. Unsalted Butter, melted
Sea Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
In a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and let stand for five minutes, or until foamy.
Add the butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour, and mix until combined. Add additional flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is only slightly sticky to the touch (be careful not to add too much flour!).
Knead 3-5 minutes, until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 and line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Gently punch the dough down and divide into 10 equal sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and space evenly in the prepared pan.
Let rise (uncovered) for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and brush with butter. Keep in the pan if you want to serve them warm!

They are truly the perfect fluffy and buttery dinner roll. In a pinch before dinner, these are the perfect personal addition to any meal.
