Instructions
 

  • Activate Yeast:
  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Mix Dough:
  • In a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), combine yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, flour, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead:
  • Knead dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in a mixer until smooth and elastic. Add a bit of flour if too sticky.
  • First Rise:
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  • Shape Rolls:
  • Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, and shape into balls. Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan or baking sheet.
  • Second Rise:
  • Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  • Bake:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15–18 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
  • Finish:
  • Brush warm rolls with melted butter and cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Want them sweeter? Add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
  • For extra pillowy rolls, replace ¼ cup of the flour with potato flakes or use bread flour.
  • These freeze beautifully after baking—wrap tightly and reheat in the oven.
