Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Small saucepan
- Baking Pan
- Clean kitchen towel
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 4 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- 1 packet ACTIVE DRY YEAST
- 1 cup WHOLE MILK
- 4 tbsp UNSALTED BUTTER
- 2 tbsp GRANULATED SUGAR
- 1 large EGG
- 1 tsp FINE SALT
Instructions
- Warm your milk in the small saucepan. It should feel like warm bath water. Do not let the milk come to a boil.
- Add the sugar and yeast to the milk. Let it sit for five minutes now. The mixture should look very foamy and bubbly.
- Mix the flour and salt in your bowl. Add the warm milk mixture and melted butter. Add the beaten egg to the bowl now.
- Stir the ingredients until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface. Do this for about five minutes total.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot now.
- Wait for the dough to double in size. This usually takes about one hour. Punch the dough down very gently now.
- Divide the dough into small equal balls. Place them in your greased baking pan. Let them rise again for thirty minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees now. Bake the rolls for fifteen to twenty minutes. They should be a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
- Always check if your yeast is fresh and active.
- Use a thermometer to check the milk temperature.
- Do not add too much flour while you knead.
- Let the rolls rise in a draft-free spot.
- Brush with extra butter right after they bake.
