Directions
- 1Add warm water and active dry yeast to a large bowl.
- 2Add a little bit of sugar to help wake up the yeast.
- 3Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it gets foamy.
- 4Combine whole milk and salted butter in a measuring cup.
- 5Microwave the milk and butter mixture until the butter is melted, making sure it's not boiling hot.
- 6Add the butter milk mixture to the yeast mixture.
- 7Add one large egg to the mixture.
- 8Add a quarter cup of sugar to the mixture.
- 9Add three and a half cups of bread flour to the mixture.
- 10Mix it all together until it forms a shaggy dough.
- 11Once the dough comes together, switch to kneading it by hand.
- 12Wipe out your bowl with a little bit of oil or grease.
- 13Flip the dough over once or twice to coat it in the oil.
- 14Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about one hour until it's doubled in size.
- 15Punch down the risen dough.
- 16Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- 17Portion out the dough into 16 equal portions by weighing the dough and dividing by 16.
- 18Shape each dough portion by pushing the edges up underneath itself to create a round top.
- 19Evenly space the shaped rolls out in a buttered baking dish.
- 20Cover them and let them rest and rise until they're fluffy and soft for about another hour.
- 21Bake the rolls at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-18 minutes.
- 22Once out of the oven, brush them with some melted butter.
