Homemade Dinner Rolls
These soft, buttery rolls are a perfect accompaniment to any dinner spread.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¼ cups warm milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
Method:
Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and let sit until frothy. Whisk in the eggs and oil, then gradually add the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, let it rise in a warm spot until doubled, then shape into balls. Place in a greased pan for a second rise before baking at 375°F until the tops are golden brown.
Homemade Pizza Dough
This reliable pizza dough recipe yields a crust that is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Method:
Mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast and allow it to activate for 5 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for several minutes, then cover and let rise for at least one hour. Roll out onto a floured surface, add your favorite toppings, and bake at a high temperature (around 450°F) until the crust is charred and the cheese is bubbly.
