Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet, 7 g)
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing after baking)

Instructions 

  • Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
  • Mix yeast mixture, softened butter, egg, and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Let dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, until doubled, about 1–1.5 hours.
  • Punch down dough, divide into 12–15 pieces, shape into balls, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Let rolls rise until puffy, about 30–45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Serve warm.

Notes

For softer rolls, cover with a clean towel during the second rise.
