I live in Wisconsin because it is legal to have five starches on the same plate. If some fit was bread? Even better! That is why I love this recipe, I can make it one time a week and be set for all the dinners over the week. As a bonus? They can make nice sandwich rolls too!

Hand Popped Dinner Rolls

I don’t know what I like more: hot buttered rolls right out of the oven, or leftover rolls with turkey and cranberry relish on them! Either way, dinner rolls are beyond yummy (and endangered around Miss Sarah!) My mom actually makes a double batch and brings a bag for Sarah only, and my brother Chris tries to fight her for it. (He looses).

The secret to the consistent shape and size of these gems is the simple fact that you use your own hand instead of a different tool. Using your hand to “pop” them into shape makes for similar sizes and a nice round top.

You will need:

  • 2 cups warm/hot water
  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 2 packets yeast
  • 5 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 eggs
baking ingredients for hand popped rolls in a mixing bowl

Melt butter in hot water.  Add sugar and salt and stir. Add cold water and yeast. Stir to dissolve yeast. Add 3 cups flour and mix. Add eggs and 2 1/2 – 3 cups more flour.  Mix, cover and let rise until dough doubles in size. Punch down and let rise 30 more minutes or until doubles.

Now, take some of the dough and put it in your fist. Think of milking a cow — rolling your fingers over the dough from the pinky on up. This “POPS” a bubble of dough up into the circle between your thumb and pointer finger…about 2-3″ in size.

Place about 2 inches apart in well-buttered 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 30-45 minutes.  Brush top of rolls with butter while hot, so it locks in yet another layer of amazing flavor.
