Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk, warm (about 110°F)
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • Additional melted butter for brushing

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, egg, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Yeast Mixture: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the large mixing bowl and stir to combine all ingredients.
  4. Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring until the dough begins to come together into a shaggy mass.
  5. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, which helps develop the gluten.
  6. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.
  8. Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal portions, shape each into a smooth ball, and arrange them in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
  9. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, allowing them to puff up and become fluffy.
  10. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the risen rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter to give them a rich flavor and help browning.
  11. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  12. Final Butter Brush: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with additional melted butter to keep them soft and add extra buttery flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is not too hot when activating yeast; around 110°F is ideal to prevent killing the yeast.
  • Kneading is essential to develop gluten for a soft, elastic dough.
  • Make sure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free environment for best results.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking to keep the crust soft and flavorful.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of honey or substitute some of the milk with cream.
