Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted for brushing

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg to the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Brush the warm rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for a glossy finish and extra flavor.

Step 12

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite meal!
