Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Warm water (110°F to 115°F)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon, finely chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top, stir gently, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until just warm. Add the butter and stir until melted. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, warm milk mixture, egg, and chopped tarragon.

Step 4

Stir the mixture until it comes together into a dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 7

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.

Step 8

While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Brush with additional melted butter if desired for extra flavor.
