Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 whisk
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 clean kitchen towel
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk 110°F/43°C
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 10-15 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then enjoy warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, brush the rolls with melted butter right after baking.
You can substitute milk with non-dairy alternatives for a vegan option, but the texture may vary slightly.
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or freeze for longer storage.
