Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 piece egg (large)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm (around 100-110°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Add the egg and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with the towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish and extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
