Ingredients

2 packets active dry yeast total 1/2 oz or 14 g + 1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 1/4 cups milk
5 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
1 large egg
baking spray
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Heat the milk with the sugar, salt, and butter until lukewarm.
Add the egg to the yeast mixture. Combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, and all of the flour. Stir well to combine. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough and divide it into 18 balls, each about the size of a small tennis ball. Cover and let rise for 25 minutes. Spray a 10-inch (25 cm) cast-iron skillet with baking spray and arrange the dough balls in the skillet. Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the surface. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the surface of the dinner rolls turns golden brown. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

Notes

For this recipe, you will need about 2 pounds of the dough. You can freeze the remaining 1 pound of dough in the freezer, thaw and use it later, or you can use a bigger skillet and use up all the dough. If the sides of the dinner rolls are turning dark faster than the middle, cover te rolls on the side with aluminum foil and expose the middle part of the dinner rolls. This will help to even it out.
