Ingredients
3.5 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk, warm
0.25 cup warm water
0.25 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
1.5 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for brushing
Instructions
1. Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and let sit until foamy, 5-10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with warm milk, melted butter, egg, and salt.
3. Gradually add flour and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled.
6. Punch down the dough, divide into 12 portions, and shape into smooth balls.
7. Place rolls in a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
8. Bake at 375°F for 18-22 minutes or until golden. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
9. Brush hot rolls with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
Use bread flour for extra chew, or all-purpose for lighter rolls.
Freeze shaped dough balls before final rise for fresh-baked rolls any time.
