Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Butter, softened or melted
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Butter, melted For Brushing Rolls

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until tiny bubbles form around the edges of the pan and the milk begins to steam.

  2. Pour the milk into a large mixing bowl. Add in the water, butter, and sugar. Stir to combine. Let the mixture cool until warm to the touch. (Similar to warm bath water- not too hot or cold).

  3. Stir in the yeast and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it begins to foam.

  4. Next, add the egg, and salt. Stir to combine, begin adding the flour, one cup at a time. Mix and knead the dough until it is soft and smooth.

  5. Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled.

  6. When dough has risen, punch it down and turn out onto a lightly floured counter. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces (you can do 12 pieces if you want larger rolls). Form and roll each piece into a round ball and place onto a greased baking sheet, spacing about 1/2 inch apart.

  7. Cover the rolls. Let them rise until doubled- About 45 minutes. The rolls should be very puffy with the sides beginning to touch.

  8. Bake at 375℉ for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
