Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a wet dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, kneading the dough until it is smooth and slightly sticky, about 3-5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it becomes manageable.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm area for 10-15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra richness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
