Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 clean kitchen towel
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk About 110°F/43°C.
- ¼ cup unsalted butter Melted.
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until combined.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and easy to handle.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes in a warm area.
- After resting, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for another 15 minutes in a warm place.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and, if desired, brush with additional melted butter for added flavor.
Notes
Make sure your milk is warm but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast.
For a variation, you can add herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to two days or freeze them for longer storage.
