- 1 cup warm milk (about 105°F to 115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Stir in the sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the risen dough. Divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Arrange the balls close together in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Cover the pan loosely. Let the rolls rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Immediately brush the tops generously with melted butter while the rolls are still hot.
- Serve warm for the best buttery flavor.
Notes
- Ensure your milk is the correct temperature for the yeast to activate properly.
- For extra softness, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- You can brush the tops with melted butter halfway through baking for an even richer crust.
