Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
In a small saucepan, warm the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is lukewarm (110°F). Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix together.
Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix until a dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook and knead for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 even portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion.
Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with additional melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh and warm!
