Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter, for brushing
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Whisk together until combined.
Add 2 cups of flour and the salt to the wet mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading the dough between each addition. Continue kneading for 8-10 minutes either by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or butter, then place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until they are puffy and nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter while they are still warm.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or at room temperature.
