Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the yeast into the mixture and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the milk and heat until warm, but not hot.
Pour the milk and butter mixture into the yeast mixture. Add the salt and egg. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rest for 20 minutes to rise again.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
