Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer with hook attachment
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 9 x 13 baking tray
  • oven

Materials

  • 650 g bread flour
  • 10 g instant dry yeast
  • 150 g whole milk
  • 50 g water
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 10 g salt
  • 113 g softened butter
  • 125 g cream cheese
  • 100 g grated parmesan

To finish:

  • 1 egg for brushing the rolls before baking
  • flaky salt like maldon, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • grated parmesan, to taste

Instructions

  • Place the flour in a stand mixer bowl equipped with the hook attachment. Add the eggs, milk, water, sugar, salt, and yeast, parmesan and cream cheese.
  • Turn on the mixer at low speed to avoid spilling the flour, then increase to medium-high.
  • When the dough starts separating from the edges and a ball forms, add the room-temperature butter little by little, mixing at medium speed.
  • Once all the butter is incorporated, remove the dough from the mixer and place it on the counter.
  • Shape the dough into a tight ball, and place it into a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let rest in the fridge overnight.
  • The next day, grease a 9x13 baking tray( I prefer the USA pan brand ), remove the dough from the fridge, and press with your hands to deflate.
  • Using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 24 pieces of 60g each, roll it into balls, and place it into the greased pan.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for a couple of hours or until they double in size.
  • After baking, brush them with melted butter.

How to store baked leftover dinner rolls:

  • To store leftover dinner rolls, let them cool completely, wrap them in plastic and keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

How to store unbaked dinner rolls:    

  • Freeze the dinner rolls just after rolling and place them into the baking tray without allowing them to be proof. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. The night before serving them, defrost them on the counter and let proof until doubled in size.
  • Brush with egg mixture and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
