Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Pan
Ingredients
Yeast Mixture
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup warm water
Dough Ingredients
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup hot milk
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter melted (for brushing rolls)
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, softened butter, and salt. Pour in the hot milk and stir until the butter melts and everything is blended well. Let this cool to lukewarm.
- Add the yeast mixture and the lightly beaten egg to the bowl. Stir until combined.
- Gradually add the sifted flour, a cup at a time, mixing thoroughly until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 15 to 18 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and arrange them in a greased baking pan.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
- Brush the fresh-baked rolls with melted butter for an extra-soft, shiny finish.
Notes
These rolls are perfect for pairing with any main course or enjoyed with butter and jam.
