These fluffy, warm breakfast rolls are perfect for lazy mornings and can be made ahead for ultimate convenience. Soft on the inside with a golden crust, they are ideal for breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes, then bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving with butter or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For softer rolls, add a tablespoon of milk to the dough if it feels dry.
  • You can prepare the dough a day ahead and refrigerate overnight for quick morning baking.
