🛒 Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm milk (105–110°F / 40–43°C)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar.
Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
👉 If it doesn’t foam, your yeast may be inactive.
2. Make the Dough
Add the yeast mixture to a large bowl or stand mixer.
Mix in butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour.
Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky (not sticky).
3. First Rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes
➡️ Dough should double in size
4. Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches).
Cut into 24–30 equal squares
5. Second Rise
Place rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise again for 45–60 minutes
6. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown
7. Finish
Brush immediately with melted butter 🧈
➡️ This gives that signature soft, buttery finish
🔥 Pro Tips
- Use warm (not hot) milk to activate yeast properly
