Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 piece egg (large)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm (around 100-110°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 3

Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the egg and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with the towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

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

Step 12

Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish and extra flavor.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
