Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter (for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water (105-110°F) and granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 1/4 cup unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk mixture, and salt. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and mix until combined.
Step 4
Add the egg and beat the mixture for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook and knead for 5-6 minutes.
Step 7
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 8
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.
Step 9
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 10
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 11
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 12
Brush the warm rolls with melted unsalted butter and serve. Enjoy!
