Dinner Rolls

to be honest, this is no other different from any other rolls, just added a cream cheese for a little twist. you can serve this rolls for dinner, or make sandwiches. it's soft and creamy an not sweet!

ingredients:

• 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110f-115f temp.) please always check the temperature, too hot will kill your yeast

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 tbsp cream cheese softened
• 2 tsp salt
• powdered sugar

directions:

1. into a bowl, add yeast and milk. stir and set aside. let the yeast rise for 8 to 11 minutes
2. into a different mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar and stir
3. when the yeast is ready, transfer the flour mixture into a stand mixer mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture, egg, melted butter and cream cheese. knead until the dough becomes soft (if the dough is super sticky, add flour a teaspoon at a time, if the dough is dry, add milk a teaspoon at a time) NOTE: a little bit of stickiness is okay, because the sticky the dough can turn out to be a great bread
4. shape the dough into a ball
5. add a little oil into the bowl, add the dough and cover with plastic wrap
6. let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size (rising can vary on the temperature)
7. once the dough is ready, divide into 8 pcs, or you can also make 12 if you want to
8. shape the dough into a ball and add into a prepared baking pan
9. cover again with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for about 30 to 50 minutes or until doubled in size
10. once the dough is ready, bake to 325F pre heated oven for 20 minutes
11. cool down the bread before you sprinkle the powdered sugar on top
12. and enjoy!
