Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instruction
- Combine warm water, yeast and sugar in a small measuring cup or bowl. Let sit 5 minutes or until frothy.
- Using a large mixing bowl and fitted with flat beater combine yeast mixture, butter salt, egg and 2 cups flour. Mix together. Once fully combined switch to dough hook and scrape down sides of the bowl. Increase speed to medium. After 2 minutes, add additional 2 cups of flour.
- Knead for another 3-5 minutes or until dough comes together and is smooth. It should slap sides of the bowl and stick to the bottom.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 20 -30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a smooth work surface. Plop dough down and gently flatten to a ½ inch or so rectangle. Divide into 20 equal pieces using a pizza cutter or dough scraper.
- Roll each piece into a smooth round ball. Use the palm of your hand to roll gently until it pulls together.
- Arrange dough balls in a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and cover with a kitchen towel. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Let rolls rise until doubled, about 20 minutes. Brush with melted butter.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
