Anonymous asked: Can you use the beer bread recipe for making dinner rolls? If so, how do you actually make rolls? Or if the beer bread recipe isn't appropriate for dinner rolls, do you have a good recipe on hand? Thanks MIL!
Yes, but the rolls will be hearty, not light and fluffy like you expect from a dinner roll recipe, as there is butter or egg included. To proceed, make the BEER BREAD batter and set the batter to rise for a few hours. Scoop out onto floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, adding flour as needed. The dough should be smooth and elastic, not sticky. Test: poke two fingers into dough; if holes begin to swell and fill up immediately, the dough has been kneaded long enough. *Kneading the dough long enough makes a finer crumb roll or bread.
Place the kneaded dough in a buttered/oiled bowl, cover, set in warm place until dough doubles in size.
Place dough on floured surface and shape into rolls (remember they will double in size); place in buttered pan, cover, set in warm place until double in size. Bake!
PS) I’ll post a fluffy dinner roll recipe soon!
