🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 whole Egg, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine.

2. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the milk until it reaches about 110°F (slightly warm to the touch but not hot).

3. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.

4. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be smooth and slightly tacky but not overly sticky.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook and knead for about 5 minutes.

6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

7. Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 12x9 inches.

8. Spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough.

9. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal-sized pieces.

10. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and arrange the rolls in the pan, cut side up. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until the rolls are puffy.

11. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

12. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

13. Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.

14. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm and fresh!
