Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough ingredients
  • 1 cup Warm milk Warm, not hot
  • 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast Must be fresh for best results
  • 1/4 cup Sugar To sweeten and feed the yeast
  • 1/4 cup Butter Melted, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large Egg Helps with softness and structure
  • 3.5 cups All-purpose flour Add gradually until a soft dough forms
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm your milk until it feels like warm bath water. Pour it into a large bowl.
  2. Stir in sugar, then sprinkle yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it looks foamy.
  3. Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix it thoroughly.
  4. Start adding flour a little at a time until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly tacky but not a sticky mess.
  5. Knead for about 6 to 8 minutes by hand or with a mixer until the dough looks smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled. This usually takes about 1 hour depending on your kitchen.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Gently punch down the dough, then roll it out into a rectangle. Cut into even squares or rectangles.
  2. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise again until puffy, about 30 to 45 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Bake until tops are lightly golden, usually 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. Brush with melted butter right after they come out.

Notes

These rolls can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let them sit at room temperature until puffy, then bake. They also freeze well after baking; reheat in the oven, wrapped in foil.
