Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly, indicating that the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir together until a soft dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This develops gluten, giving the rolls their structure.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide into even pieces and shape each into smooth balls. Arrange them on a greased baking tray or baking dish.
  6. Final Rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until soft and pillowy.
  7. Bake and Butter: Bake rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Immediately brush with melted butter to lock in moisture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Knead well to develop gluten for light, well-structured rolls.
  • Don’t skip the second rise; it keeps the rolls fluffy.
  • Brush melted butter on rolls immediately after baking for shine and richness.
  • Use fresh yeast for better rise and fluffiness.
  • You can prepare the dough the night before; refrigerate after first rise and allow to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
