Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for brushing)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (around 110°F/43°C). Be careful not to overheat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually mix in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, about 1 inch apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Immediately after baking, brush the tops with softened butter for extra flavor and shine.
Allow the rolls to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
