Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir.
- Gradually add flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough. Divide into 12 equal pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls until golden brown, 15-18 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter immediately. Serve warm.
Tips
- For a softer crust, brush with butter twice: once after baking and again after 5 minutes.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To freeze, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in a 300°F oven.
