Ingredients

Scale

Yeast Mixture

  • 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Warm Water

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk (room temperature)
  • 6 Tbsp Butter (melted and divided)
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Salt

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 – 4 cups Flour

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a stand-up mixer bowl, combine the warm water and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy, indicating it’s active.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the room temperature milk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, lightly mix everything together for about 1 minute to combine.
  3. Add Flour Gradually: Slowly add the flour one cup at a time into the mixer bowl, mixing after each addition. Continue adding flour until a soft dough forms that cleans the edges of the bowl. You may not need all the flour depending on humidity and flour type.
  4. First Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the Dough: Punch down the risen dough to release air. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to approximately 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Cut Rolls: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 20-24 square pieces.
  7. Second Rise: Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Place the dough squares onto the sheets about 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise again for approximately 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake the Rolls: Bake the risen rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are light golden brown on top.
  10. Brush with Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining melted butter. Allow them to cool slightly before serving and enjoying.

Notes

  • Ensure yeast is fresh and water is warm (not hot) to activate properly.
  • Room temperature milk and eggs improve dough consistency.
  • The amount of flour may vary due to humidity and flour type; the dough should be soft but not sticky.
  • Covering the dough properly during rising maintains humidity and prevents drying out.
  • Use a pizza cutter for clean, even roll shapes.
  • Brush with butter immediately after baking for a soft, flavorful crust.
  • Enjoy the rolls warm for the best texture and taste.
