Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 unit Large egg
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it reaches about 110°F (43°C). Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, 3 cups of flour, salt, butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, switching to kneading when the mixture becomes too difficult to stir.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Arrange the rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, cover with a towel, and let them rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for an extra indulgent flavor.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
