Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed until slightly warm to the touch)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  • Mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar; let sit until foamy (5-10 min).
  • Combine flour and salt; add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix into a dough.
  • Knead dough by hand for 8-10 min until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl until doubled (~1-1.5 hrs).
  • Punch down dough, divide into 12 pieces, shape into balls, and place on a greased pan.
  • Let rolls rise until puffed (~30-45 min). Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 15-20 min until golden. Brush with melted butter if desired. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For softer rolls, let them rise a bit longer before baking.
