Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon White sugar
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool slightly until lukewarm.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk mixture, egg, chopped dill, and salt. Stir until blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Cover the rolls lightly with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 20-25 minutes, until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for added flavor and shine.

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as an accompaniment to your meal.
