Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle in the yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the egg, melted butter, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, covered bowl for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3×2-inch rectangles, fold each in half, and place folded side down in the greased dish.
- Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Brush hot rolls with melted butter and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and release.
- Add fresh herbs or garlic to the butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Freeze shaped dough for later and bake fresh when needed.
