Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Water, warm (110°F/43°C)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it reaches about 110°F/43°C, warm but not hot to the touch.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.

Step 3

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, 1 cup at a time, stirring until the dough comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead using a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 9

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 10

Place the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.

Step 11

Cover the pan with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and allow the rolls to rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 12

While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 14

Remove the rolls from the oven and optionally brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy!
