In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast, ensuring the salt and yeast are not in direct contact.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal portions, approximately 70-75 grams each.
Shape each portion into a ball or oblong roll by tucking the edges under and rolling gently with your hands. Place the shaped rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to allow for expansion.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until they have almost doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Just before baking, brush the tops of the rolls with milk to enhance browning and give them a slightly glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls have a golden-brown crust and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
