Buttery Yeast Rolls
Ingredients (Makes 12 rolls)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 3–3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2–3 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Activate yeast
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
- Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the dough
- In a large bowl, mix yeast mixture, melted butter, salt, and egg.
- Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead
- Knead dough on a floured surface 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
- First rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1½ hours, until doubled in size.
- Shape rolls
- Punch down dough.
- Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls.
- Place in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan or on a baking sheet.
- Second rise
- Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes, until puffy.
- Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake rolls 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish with butter
- Brush warm rolls with melted butter before serving.
Tips
- Softest rolls: use bread flour or a mix of bread + all-purpose flour.
- Flavor twist: add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for savory rolls.
- Freezing: freeze baked rolls; reheat in oven wrapped in foil to refresh.
