Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 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 and cooled
- 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, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush hot rolls with melted butter. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra softness, brush rolls with butter twice: once after baking and once after cooling slightly.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
