Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm and stir in the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and active.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide into 12-16 equal portions. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place on a greased baking sheet or pan, spaced evenly.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and allow them to rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Bake and Butter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter for a shiny, flavorful crust.

Notes

  • Use warm, not hot, milk to properly activate the yeast for a good rise.
  • Knead the dough enough to build gluten but avoid overworking to keep rolls tender.
  • Keep the dough covered during rising to prevent drying and crust formation.
  • Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for moistness and shine.
  • Use melted butter in the dough for even incorporation and softness.
