Tips for Success:
- Measure Ingredients: Have everything ready before you start.
- Milk Temperature: Make sure the milk is between 100-110°F to activate the yeast.
- Even Baking: Roll dough into uniform-sized balls for consistent baking.
- Golden Brown: Bake until golden brown and brush with melted butter for a shiny, irresistible finish.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp rapid-rise instant yeast
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ cups warm milk (110°F)
- 5 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions:
- In a stand mixer, combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg.
- Mix on low until flour is incorporated, then increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining flour in ½ cup increments until the dough forms into a soft, slightly sticky ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Let dough rise, covered, for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Punch down the dough and form it into 24 rolls. Arrange on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Tent with foil if needed.
- Brush hot rolls with melted butter and serve.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips:
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and foil, or place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dough up to the second rise, refrigerate overnight, and bake the next day.
