Servings: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup whole milk warmed but not hot
- 1 packet active dry yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large beaten egg
- 3-4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons unsalted butter melted for brushing
Instructions
- Add the warmed 1 ¼ cup whole milk, 1 packet active dry yeast and ¼ cup granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, cover with a towel, and let it rest for about 5 minutes, the mixture should become frothy.
- When the yeast is ready, add ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 large beaten egg, 3-4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Fit the mixer with the dough hook attachment and mix at medium-low speed until the dough begins to come together.
- As the dough comes together, you may need to add more flour; start with a few tablespoons at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the bowl. When the dough is formed, increase the speed to medium and mix for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl with 3 teaspoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil. Add the dough to the bowl, cover, and let it rest for about an hour until it doubles in size. While the dough rests, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and prepare a clean work surface where the dough can be rolled out.
- When the dough is doubled in size, dump it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12x15-inch rectangle. Brush the melted butter onto the surface of the dough slab.
- Cut the slab into four sections, in half vertically and then horizontally. Then, cut each of these quarters into three rectangles. They should be about 2 ½ x 6-inches.
- Roll the little rectangles up and place them, seam side down, on the parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover and let the rolls rise for 45 minutes-1 hour. The rolls should be larger and fluffy but not touching.
- While the rolls rise, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. When the rolls are ready, bake them for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with additional butter.
