Ingredients

360 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
240 mL (1 cup) warm milk, about 40-43 C / 105-110 F
35 g (3 tbsp) granulated sugar
7 g (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
1 large egg (about 50 g)
45 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
6 g (1 tsp) salt
15 g (1 tbsp) melted butter, for brushing

Instructions

Step 1. In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, yeast, egg, and 45 g melted butter.
Step 2. Add the flour and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3. Knead for 8-10 minutes by hand or 6-8 minutes in a mixer, until smooth and elastic.
Step 4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60-75 minutes, until doubled.
Step 5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball.
Step 6. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Step 7. Preheat the oven to 190 C / 375 F. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8. Brush the warm rolls with the remaining melted butter and serve.
