How to Make the Best Dinner Rolls

Nothing lures guests to the dinner table like an overflowing basket of homemade dinner rolls! Head into the kitchen with Jenny McCoy as she shares professional production techniques to create three dinner rolls simultaneously. First, Jenny steps you through mixing soft and pillowy Rosemary Potato Rolls before she moves on to a versatile Seven Seed Dinner Roll. Her one-bowl method for layering ingredients and mixing is not only easy to master but also saves valuable time and leaves you with fewer dishes to wash. Jenny teaches you how to successfully divide and shape dinner rolls with or without a scale, ensuring your rolls will proof and bake uniformly.

Included are tips and tricks for knowing when the gluten is formed properly, keeping your rolls from drying out while rising, and achieving beautiful color while baking. Finally, she creates beautiful golden-brown popovers in a matter of moments using a blender. Jenny’s assembly line will have you creating overflowing baskets of rolls and popovers fresh out of the oven just in time to set your holiday table.
