Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface or using a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a cylinder about 6-8 inches long.

Step 6

Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to allow for spreading during the second rise.

Step 7

Cover the rolls lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 30-40 minutes, or until they are puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, whisk the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Gently brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before slicing and using for your favorite sandwiches.
