Directions

  1. 1Heat milk until cozy, then melt butter and set aside to cool.
  2. 2Activate yeast by adding it to 1/4 cup warm water, mixing, and letting it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. 3In a bowl, combine 1 cup warm whole milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and one large egg at room temperature; whisk together.
  4. 4Add the foamy yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and slowly mix in 3 1/2 to 4 cups of flour.
  5. 5Just before all the flour is mixed in, add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  6. 6Mix until the dough pulls away from the bowl and comes together.
  7. 7Flour your work surface, turn out the dough, and knead for 6 to 8 minutes until bouncy and elastic.
  8. 8Lightly grease a clean bowl, place the dough in it, cover, and let it rest in a warm spot for about an hour until doubled in size.
  9. 9Punch down the dough, lightly flour your work surface again, and turn out the dough.
  10. 10Roll out the dough to about half an inch thick.
  11. 11Cut the dough into equal 3x3 inch squares.
  12. 12Lay the dough squares on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet, spacing them out slightly.
  13. 13Cover the dough and let it rest and rise again for about 45 minutes to an hour.
  14. 14Bake the rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 to 15 minutes.
  15. 15Brush butter on the rolls immediately after they come out of the oven.
