Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups Warm water (110-115°F / 43-46°C)
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (do not boil). Remove from heat. Add the melted butter to the milk and mix.

Step 4

Pour the yeast mixture into the milk and butter mixture, then stir to combine.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until soft, smooth, and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for 5-6 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly in the prepared pan.

Step 10

Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy and touching each other.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when gently tapped.

Step 13

Brush the warm rolls generously with melted butter for a shiny and flavorful finish.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy these buttery pan rolls on their own or with your favorite spread.
