Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and one tablespoon of sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Start with 3 cups of flour, stirring with a wooden spoon. The dough will be shaggy. Add the remaining flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- Place the shaped rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush the rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
Notes
Make sure your milk is warm but not hot. Use good-quality butter for the best flavor. Store cooled rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
