Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ 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 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional fillings: cheese, ham, spinach, or sweet jams
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and warm milk, letting it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add the sugar, melted butter, and egg, whisking until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. For convenience, you might use a KitchenAid stand mixer with a dough hook.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and arrange them in a greased baking dish. For a decorative touch, add optional fillings before shaping.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with melted butter for extra softness and shine.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- You can add your favorite fillings inside the dough before shaping for a personalized touch.
- For softer rolls, brush with additional melted butter immediately after baking.
