👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Activate the Yeast (if using active dry):
If using instant yeast, skip this step.
Otherwise, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
- Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes (or with a mixer 5–6 min) until smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
3. First Rise:
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, until doubled in size.
4. Shape the Rolls:
- Punch down the dough to release air.
- Divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each into a smooth ball and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking pan (about ½ inch apart).
5. Second Rise:
- Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy and touching each other slightly.
6. Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown on top.
7. Finish:
- Brush warm rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for that soft, shiny finish.
- Let cool slightly… then pull apart and enjoy! 🧈
💛 Tips for Ultra-Fluffy Rolls:
- Don’t add too much flour — a slightly soft dough makes softer rolls.
- For richer flavor, replace half the milk with heavy cream.
- You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight.
