Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm milk (110°F)
- 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Additional melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the yeast over the liquid mixture. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast becomes frothy.
Stir in the melted butter, egg, and salt until fully combined.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the additional melted butter for a shiny, soft finish.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
