Make sure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Quality butter makes a difference in flavor, so reach for a brand you love.

Logan’s Roadhouse Buttery Dinner Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 1/4 cups water (105-115 degrees)
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons butter flavor shortening
Instructions
- Place 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 2 (1/4 ounce) packages of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 cup of nonfat dry milk powder to the bowl and set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of water (105-115 degrees) and 1 large beaten egg, stirring to blend.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the water mixture into the well.
- Mix by hand, beating 150 strokes while frequently scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add 1/2 of the melted butter (4 tablespoons) and beat to incorporate into the mixture.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/3 cup at a time, beating to incorporate each addition until fully mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set the dough in a warm, draft-free place, like an oven with a pan of hot tap water on the rack below.
- Allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Coat the cups, bottoms, and sides of a 12-cup muffin pan (or two small round pans) with butter-flavored vegetable shortening.
- Punch down the dough, which will be extremely soft and sticky.
- Drop the dough by hand or spoonfuls into the prepared muffin pan cups, aiming for 12 rolls with each roll touching the next.
- Brush the dough with the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Let the rolls rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the rolls on the middle rack for 16-18 minutes.
- Once baked, brush the tops of the cooked rolls with the remaining melted butter and serve immediately.
