Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

12-15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-4.5 cups all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
  • Baking sheet

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast.
  2. Add melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
  4. Transfer the dough to a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each roll.
  8. Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  9. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is warm, but not too hot. If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for 10-15 minutes.
  • You can freeze the rolls for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to measure your flour correctly. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
