🧈 Ingredients You’ll Need
-
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)
-
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
-
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
-
¼ cup sugar
-
1 egg
-
¼ cup melted butter (plus more for brushing)
-
1 teaspoon salt
👩🍳 How to Make the Rolls
1. Activate the yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead and rise
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
4. Shape the rolls
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12–15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet.
5. Second rise
Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30–40 minutes, until puffy.
6. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Brush and serve
Brush with melted butter while still warm. Serve fresh out of the oven or let cool and store.
💡 Tips for Success
-
Make sure your milk isn’t too hot — it should feel warm but not scalding.
-
For a richer flavor, sub part of the milk with half-and-half or cream.
-
Add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs for a savory twist.
-
Want a sweeter version? Add a bit of honey or cinnamon sugar before baking!

If the first batch made you smile, the second will have you hooked. Go ahead — make them again (and again). You’ll be glad you did.
