How to Make Amish Dinner Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in the egg, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12-15 equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and brush with extra melted butter for extra flavor and softness.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
