Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water (about 110°F), granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is just melted. Let the mixture cool slightly until it's warm, but not hot.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yeast mixture, warm milk and butter mixture, egg, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. Continue adding flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes in a stand mixer, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 8

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

If desired, brush the warm rolls with melted butter for an extra soft, flavorful finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
