Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm but not scalding (about 110°F or 43°C). Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture and the beaten egg. Stir the mixture until it forms a sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Cover with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
