Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Extra melted butter for brushing
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add salt, melted butter, and milk to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough becomes too tough to stir, transfer it to a floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it 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 portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter for an extra-soft and flavorful finish.
Let the rolls cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
