Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F)
- 1 cup Warm whole milk (110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Large egg (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm whole milk, melted butter, and the egg.
Add the yeast mixture and milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover them with a towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
If desired, brush the tops of the warm rolls with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
