- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place on baking sheet.
- Let the rolls rest in a warm place for 10–15 minutes until slightly puffy.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
- Brush rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm.
Notes
- To make sweeter rolls, add 1–2 tablespoons of honey or extra sugar.
- For savory versions, mix in garlic powder, herbs, or shredded cheese.
- Do not over-knead or over-flour the dough to keep the rolls fluffy.
- Freeze cooled rolls in a sealed bag for up to 2 months. Reheat before serving.
