Soft Batch Pan Dinner Rolls bake up tender and slightly sweet, with pillowy interiors and gently golden tops. They’re perfect for holiday spreads, weeknight dinners, or any time you want a basket of warm, comforting bread to share. The subtle richness from milk, egg, and butter makes them especially satisfying alongside soups, roasts, and salads.

1

In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups flour, sugar, shortening, salt, and yeast. Add warm water, warm milk, and egg; beat with an electric mixer on low for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides often. Mix in the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.
2

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place it in a greased bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3

Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Cut each half into 24 pieces; shape each piece into a round. Arrange half of the rolls in a lightly greased 9-inch round cake pan; brush half of the melted butter over the tops. Place the remaining rolls in a second greased cake pan and brush with the remaining butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 18 minutes.
