Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls:
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
For Brushing:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add softened butter, egg, and salt, and stir to combine.
- Knead the Dough: Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rise the Dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape and Bake: Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finish: Brush the warm rolls with melted butter before serving.
Notes
- For richer flavor, use whole milk and allow for a longer second rise.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
