Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, warm the milk and dissolve the yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, brush with melted butter if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a sweeter variation, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the dough.
- These rolls can be assembled a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
