  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Additional melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, shape into balls, and arrange in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven, brush with additional melted butter, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure yeast is fresh for the best rise.
  • You can prepare the dough a day ahead and refrigerate overnight.
  • Brush with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
