Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Warm Water
  • 1 cup Milk (room temperature)
  • 6 Tbsp Butter (melted and divided)
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 1/2 – 4 cups Flour

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a stand mixer bowl, combine the warm water with the active dry yeast and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast is fully dissolved and foamy, indicating it’s active.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, mix lightly for about 1 minute to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Flour Gradually: Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough forms. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl cleanly. You may not need all 4 cups of flour, depending on humidity and flour brand.
  4. First Rise: Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 20-24 square pieces evenly sized for rolls.
  7. Second Rise: Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and place the dough squares about 1 inch apart. Cover and allow the rolls to rise again for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the rolls.
  9. Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls on the center rack for 12-15 minutes until the tops are light golden brown and the rolls feel firm to the touch.
  10. Finish with Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Allow them to cool lightly before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure your milk and egg are at room temperature to ensure the yeast activates properly.
  • If the dough is sticky, add flour sparingly to avoid dry rolls.
  • For softer crust, cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel right after baking.
  • These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Warm frozen rolls in the oven for 5-7 minutes before serving.
