Easy Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls Recipe


Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls

1 hour to prepare serves 12

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
3/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Sunflower seeds and oats, for topping (optional)

PREPARATION

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a muffin tin with butter, set aside.
Add milk, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a small saucepan and set over low heat. Heat just until butter melts and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm (between 90° and 110°F).
Pour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and add warm water and yeast. Let sit until yeast becomes foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
Add 2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture and mix on low for 1 minute using a dough hook. With mixer on low, gradually add remaining flour in 1/2 cup increments. Mix until dough starts to hold together, about 2 minutes. Continue kneading on low until dough is smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. (If you don’t have a stand mixer and dough hook, simply mix ingredients together by with a wooden spoon until dough holds together and sides of bowl are clean, and knead dough in bowl for 2-3 minutes.)
Grease a large bowl with nonstick spray or oil, and place the dough in it, turning dough over to grease top. Cover with a dry, clean towel and set to rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch big. Place three balls in each muffin cup.
Cover pan with a clean dish towel and set in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter and set aside.
Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with oats and seeds, if using. Bake until golden brown, about 9-12 minutes. Enjoy!
