Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Dried onion flakes
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and melted butter. Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Add the dried onion flakes to the dough and knead for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Step 9

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
