Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Add the butter, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Let the mixture cool to about 110°F.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture and milk mixture. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Continue adding the remaining flour, a little at a time, until the dough becomes soft and pliable but not sticky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, evenly spaced.

Step 8

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel again and let the rolls rise for another 30-40 minutes until they have doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter for a shiny, flavorful finish.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Kansas Pan Rolls!
