Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 Large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, about 1 cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it feels too sticky, add an extra tablespoon or two of flour as needed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on a greased 9x13-inch baking pan or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
