Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups flour (, or more if needed)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise yeast (, 1 packet)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (, melted)

Instruction

  • Add the yeast to the stand mixer and in a saucepan heat the whole milk, water and butter until very warm it reaches between 120 and 130 degrees on a thermometer (you don't want it too hot or it will kill the yeast) and add the milk mixture to the stand mixer and let it sit for 5 minutes to proof the yeast (this ensures super fluffy rolls).
  • Add 1 1/2 cups flour, salt and sugar to the stand mixer with the regular whisk attachment for 2 minutes on medium speed before adding 1/2 cup of flour and changing to the dough hook and keeping it on medium speed for another 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Roll the dough into 12 balls and place into 8x8 inch baking pan, covering with a dry, clean kitchen towel in a warm place for 30 minutes (you want the rolls to double in size).
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes.
