Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups warm milk (about 105-110°F)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Binding:
- 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Butter Components:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature (½ stick)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Pour warm milk into a vessel and dissolve sugar, then sprinkle yeast across the surface. Allow the mixture to become bubbly and fragrant for approximately 5 minutes.
- Combine yeast mixture with softened butter, egg, salt, and initial flour quantity in a spacious mixing bowl. Blend ingredients until achieving a smooth, consistent texture.
- Gradually incorporate remaining flour, creating a cohesive dough mass. Knead the mixture thoroughly, ensuring the consistency is tacky yet manageable. Add minimal flour if the dough appears excessively moist.
- Transfer dough to a greased container, rotating once to coat surfaces evenly. Drape a clean cloth over the bowl and position in a draft-free, warm environment to facilitate rising until volume doubles.
- Gently deflate the risen dough by pressing down. Sprinkle work surface with flour and carefully extract dough from container.
- Roll dough into a rectangular shape approximately half-inch thick. Utilize a sharp knife to slice the dough into uniform portions, creating 24-30 potential rolls.
- Arrange shaped rolls onto prepared baking sheets lined with silicone mats or lightly coated with non-stick spray. Cover with a towel and allow secondary proofing in a warm location.
- Preheat oven to 350°F about 20 minutes prior to baking. Bake rolls until they transform into a rich, golden-brown color, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Extract rolls from oven and generously brush with melted butter. Serve immediately while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Activate yeast carefully with warm milk and sugar to ensure proper fermentation and rise.
- Dough consistency is crucial; aim for tacky but not sticky texture by gradually adding flour.
- Rising time is essential for developing soft, fluffy rolls with perfect texture and flavor.
- Use clean, warm environment for dough proofing to help yeast work effectively.
- Rolling and cutting dough evenly ensures uniform size and consistent baking results.
- Brushing with melted butter after baking adds rich flavor and creates a golden, glossy finish.
