Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm whole milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, divided and softened
  • 3 1/2 cups (about 440 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C), warm but not hot to the touch.
  2. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Stir in 3 tbsp softened butter and the egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, stirring until dough starts to come together.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or knead with a stand mixer on medium speed for 5-6 minutes.
  6. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down dough gently, divide into 12 equal pieces (about 2 ounces each), and shape each into a smooth ball.
  8. Arrange dough balls in a greased round cake pan or baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30-40 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Immediately brush rolls with remaining 3 tbsp melted butter for a buttery glaze.
  11. Let rolls cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Use warm milk at about 110°F to activate yeast properly. Knead dough well to develop gluten for airy texture. Brush melted butter immediately after baking for a soft crust. Avoid overbaking to keep rolls moist. Dough can be refrigerated after first rise for up to 24 hours before shaping and second rise.
