Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm milk (approximately110°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup sugar, granulated
- 1 large egg
- ¼ c unsalted melted butter (and extra for brushing)
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 ½- 4 cups flour (all-purpose)
Method:
1. The yeast gets activated.
In a large mixing bowl, place the warm milk and active dry yeast with sugar. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes until it proves that the yeast is active.
2. Mix the Dough
- Mix in the other ingredients, excluding flour: egg, melted butter, and salt, into the yeast mixture
- Gradually add flour, a little at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough.
- Roll out the dough on a floured board and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until beautiful and elastic. If at any point the dough feels sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time.
4. Rise.
- The dough is placed in an oiled bowl covered with a damp towel and allowed to rise for at least
- 1-1½ hours in a warm spot or until it has doubled in size.
5. From the Rolls.
- Punch down the dough, dividing it into 12 equal parts.
- Afterward, shape into round balls and place into a well-greased 9×13-inch baking dish, with spaces in between them.
6. Proof.
- Let the rolls rise, covered, again until nice and puffy, about 30-45 minutes.
7. Wow…Looks Good!
- Preheat the oven to a hot oven of 375°F (about 190°C).
- Then brush with melted butter on each roll of golden brown after baking.
