Easy Tray Buns
Light and fluffy dinner rolls that are irresistable and easy to make
Equipment
- 1 stand mixer with dough hook, Can be made by hand in a bowl then hand kneaded as well
- 1 half sheet, cookie sheet 18x13" line with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2½ cups warm water between 105℉ and 110℉
- 2 Tbsp Active dry yeast
- ½ cup butter, melted. (1 Stick)
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 lg egg
- 7 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- Line your 18x13" sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you will change to dough hook once the mixture is combined). Add the 2½ cups warm water , 2 Tbsp Active dry yeast and let it sit for a couple of minutes while you gather the rest of the ingredients (this is to ensure the yeast activates)
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the yeast mixture and combine on low speed. Once combined switch to the dough hook and let the dough knead on 1 or 2 speed (low) for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- put some oil in a large bowl (large enough to hold the dough once doubled in size). Spread the oil in the bottom and on the insides of the bowl
- Using a lightly oiled hand, pull the dough out of the mixing bowl and drop it into the oiled bowl, flip it once to oil all surfaces and smooth out the ball.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place (oven with light on works well) for 40 minutes or until double in size.
- Once the dough has doubled, punch it down completely then begin making your dough balls
- If using the oven to proof the dough, remove the dough and preheat the oven to 350℉
- Pull off pieces of dough around 55g each and form into a smooth ball, placing on the tray as you go, with a little space between each. You should end up with 30 rolls
- Lightly Cover with a dry towel and let rise another 20-30 minutes
- Bake in 350℉ oven for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying.
