Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- Extra butter for brushing on top
Instructions:
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape: Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 to 15 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Second Rise: Cover the pan and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Finish: Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a soft, shiny finish.
