Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110-115°F)
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing bowl)
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds or flaky salt (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. No kneading is necessary.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Once risen, lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a rough ball.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each portion into a rope about 8-10 inches long.

Step 6

Tie each rope into a loose knot and tuck the ends underneath. Place the shaped rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 7

Cover the baking sheet loosely with a clean towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until they are puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny finish. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or flaky salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
