Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Extra melted butter for brushing

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add salt, melted butter, and milk to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough becomes too tough to stir, transfer it to a floured surface.

Step 5

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until they double in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter for an extra-soft and flavorful finish.

Step 12

Let the rolls cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
