Servings: 12 rolls
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Pastry Cloth
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 package Active Dry Yeast (equals 2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/4 cup Warm Water
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Hot Milk
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten
- 4 cups Sifted All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over very warm water in a large bowl. Stir until dissolved and let it foam for about 10 minutes.
- Combine sugar, butter, and salt in hot milk. Stir until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Cool the mixture to 105-115 degrees F.
- Add the milk mixture to the yeast and mix in the beaten egg. Gradually beat in flour to form a soft dough. Dust a pastry cloth with more flour.
- Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes. Continually flour the pastry cloth and your hands during the process.
- Place the dough in a warm, buttered bowl. Cover and let it rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down the dough and knead lightly. Divide the dough and shape into round balls. Place in a buttered pan, leaving space between each roll.
- Allow the rolls to rise until doubled, then preheat the oven. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake until browned.
Notes
Store any leftovers by reheating in the microwave for 10 seconds to enjoy the fresh-out-of-oven magic. Try variations like whole wheat flour, herb-infused butter, sweet versions, or cheese-stuffed rolls for added flair.
