Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (approximately 110°F/43°C)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing bowl and baking dish)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute.
Warm the milk to approximately 110°F (43°C). Ensure it is warm to the touch but not too hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed and nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
If desired, brush the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for a shiny, flavorful finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
