Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 package Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
While the yeast is activating, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has just melted. Remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and the salt. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the frothy yeast mixture, the lukewarm milk mixture, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the remaining cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 7
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 9
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes until they have doubled in size.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
Step 11
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 12
Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, brush the tops with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter for a glossy finish and extra flavor.
Step 13
Serve warm and enjoy!
