Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 3.5 cups Bread flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until bubbly and frothy.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until just melted, then let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, half of the bread flour, salt, and the egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and elastic, not sticky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover it with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes until they have almost doubled in size.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to help them brown nicely.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
