Updated to show that a half batch works well in a bread pan:
Classic Dinner Rolls Using Rapid Rise Yeast-from breadworld.com
2 to 2 1/4 C A/P flour-for light wheat sub 1/2 c whole wheat flour
2 Tblsp sugar
1 envelope (2 1/4 tsp) rapid rise yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C milk
1/4 C water
2 Tblsp butter
- Combine 3/4 C flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in large bowl.
- Heat milk, water and butter until warm (120 degrees, 45 seconds in my microwave), add to flour mixture and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
- Add 1/4 C flour, beat 2 minutes at high speed.
- Stir in enough remaining flour 1/4 C at a time to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls and place in greased 8" round pan (we prefer a 9" pan). Cover and let rise until double, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and brush with additional butter if desired.
