Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is warm but not hot (around 110°F).

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough is soft but no longer sticky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

Step 7

The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for an extra soft and shiny finish.

Step 13

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
