Fancy Dinner Rolls in a Jar
1/4 c. butter
1 t. salt1/4 c. water
1 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
1 T. yeast
1 egg, beaten
4-5 cups flour
Small decorative mason jars
1 T. butter, melted
1/4 t. fresh garlic, finely minced
1/4 t. dried rosemary
1. Heat milk, butter, salt, water and sugar in
saucepan on stove, over medium heat, until warm and sugar is dissolved. (Very
important that it is not too hot because you will kill your yeast and cook the
eggs) Pour mixture into your stand mixing bowl that has a dough hook
attachment. Add yeast and eggs and let stand until frothy. Add 2 cups of flour
and mix until incorporated. Scrapes down sides and start adding flour 1/2 cup
at a time to make a soft dough (in my Bosch mixer that is when the doughs stops
sticking to the sides). Let knead in your mixer for 1 minute. Place in a large
greased bowl and let rise until double in size.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place jars on a
cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. After dough has risen,
punch down. Form balls of dough and place one in each jar, making sure dough
fills up half of the jar. Let rise again till double in size.
3. In small bowl, mix butter, garlic, and
rosemary. Brush butter mixture on top of each roll. Bake for 18-20 minutes or
until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve
while warm. Enjoy!
