Ingredients
1 cup warm milk
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal parts. Shape into smooth balls.
6. Place shaped rolls in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise 30 to 40 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
8. Brush hot rolls with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
Flour your hands lightly when shaping the dough to prevent sticking.
You can refrigerate shaped rolls overnight and bake fresh in the morning.
Brush with garlic butter or sprinkle herbs before baking for extra flavor.
