Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Rapid-rise yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for greasing and brushing rolls)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rapid-rise yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Prep a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe frying pan by greasing it with 1 tablespoon of softened butter.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them evenly in the prepared skillet.
Cover the skillet with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 15-20 minutes or until they’ve doubled in size.
While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once risen, brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining softened butter to give them a golden sheen as they bake.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Optional: Brush with additional melted butter for extra richness.
