Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 0 as needed nonstick cooking spray
• 1 large (for egg wash, optional) egg
• 1 tablespoon (for egg wash, optional) water

Directions

Step 1

Add the milk and butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (about 110°F).

Step 2

Pour the warmed milk and butter into the bread machine pan.

Step 3

Add the egg, granulated sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.

Step 4

Add the flour on top of the wet ingredients, creating a slight mound.

Step 5

Sprinkle the instant yeast evenly over the top of the flour.

Step 6

Place the bread machine pan in the machine and select the 'Dough' cycle. Start the machine and let it mix, knead, and rise the dough as per the cycle duration (typically 90 minutes).

Step 7

Once the dough cycle is complete, lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball by tucking the edges under and rolling it on the surface.

Step 9

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and arrange the dough balls evenly in the dish, leaving a little space between each for rising.

Step 10

Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

For an optional golden sheen, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each roll lightly with the egg wash.

Step 13

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
