Simple Yeast Roll or Dinner Roll Recipe

Looking for a simple roll recipe. Nothing better than a good, fresh, hot butter roll to go with a traditional meat and three. Hard to find good ones so I’ll try making my own.

Looking for a simple roll recipe. Nothing better than a good, fresh, hot butter roll to go with a traditional meat and three. Hard to find good ones so I’ll try making my own.
No-Knead Dinner Rolls
2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbs butter, melted, plus more for pan and brushing
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for shaping dough
Pour warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add sugar, butter, eggs, and salt; whisk to combine. Add flour; mix until incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Brush top of dough with butter; cover bowl with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, roll dough into a thick log. Cut into 18 equal pieces (halve log, cut each half in thirds, then cut each piece into thirds again).
Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter. One at a time, flatten each piece of dough, then fold edges toward the center, pressing to secure, until a smooth ball forms. Place dough balls in prepared baking pan, smooth side up (you should have 3 rows of 6). Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes. (Alternatively, refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove plastic wrap; brush rolls with butter. Bake until golden and rolls sound hollow when tapped on bottom, 35 to 40 minutes (tent with aluminum foil if browning too quickly). Pull rolls apart, and serve warm

I was going to post my recipe until I saw your video. Those looks stupid-simple and good! I might have to try your method out soon!

Try Rhodes Dinner Rolls in orange bag, get mine at Walmart, 36 rolls for $5.
Cut/paste from Rhodes website:
Rhodes Dinner Rolls are popular, convenient frozen yeast rolls that you bake fresh at home after thawing and rising, offering a soft, buttery, homemade taste for any meal, with options to shape them (like hearts or knots) or simply bake as is for holidays or everyday dinners. They are made from frozen dough that just needs to thaw, rise (3-5 hours or overnight in the fridge), and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, often brushed with butter for extra flavor.

My go-to is very similar to this. Instead of butter at the end, I hit the tops of the dough balls with a brush of beaten egg for the tops to brown nicely.
Like yours, they come out fluffy with a softly cooked interior and a bit of sweetness when bitten into.
For something a bit different at times, I'll use some fresh herbs mixed in the dough-----basil, oregano or rosemary work great to kick up the taste to another level.

King Arthur big batch dinner rolls
I love this one because it makes a lot of rolls that freeze well. Just unfreeze a few and bake. I usually up the sugar a little bit for that cafeteria vibe. I also love that the measurements are by weight which takes all the guess work out of it.
