Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast that's one packet!
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F or 43°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted plus more for brushing
- 1 whole egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in the warm milk and melted butter, followed by the beaten egg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 15 minutes in a warm spot.
Shaping and Second Rise
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 10 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serving
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with melted butter while they’re still warm.
Notes
These rolls are forgiving; you can use water instead of warm milk, and feel free to mix in herbs or garlic powder for added flavor.
