Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (+ 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Instruction

  • Warm the milk to 100-110°F in the microwave or on the stovetop, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stirring to dissolve. Let rest until the yeast begins to bloom and foam, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the 3/4 cup sugar, salt, melted butter and eggs, beating well to combine.
  • Stir in the flour until a stiff but sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Try not to add additional flour; dough should be sticky.
  • Place the dough in a clean, lightly greased bowl and cover lightly. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and form into 18 tight balls. Place in a greased 13x9 dish and cover lightly. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg and water together for egg wash. Gently brush rolls with egg wash and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let rolls cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter and serve.
