Ingredients

• 0.25 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 0.5 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Ensure the mixture is warm but not hot.

Step 3

Add the warm milk-butter mixture to the yeast mixture along with the salt. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or hand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Continue until the dough forms a soft and slightly sticky ball.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with the dough hook on medium speed for 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Grease a large bowl with a bit of oil, place the dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Fabulous and Easy Dinner Rolls!
