Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir gently and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, the remaining sugar, and salt over low heat until the butter is melted. Allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm.

Step 3

Add the lukewarm milk mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and gradually add 2 cups of flour. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, lightly flour your hands and kneading surface.

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into rolls.

Step 9

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
