Dinner Rolls

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet

  2 ¼ teaspoons yeast
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsalted butter

  melted, plus extra for brushing
• 1 cup milk

  warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg

  optional, for richness

Instructions

• 1 In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar, letting it sit for about 5
  minutes until frothy.
• 2 In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture and
  melted butter, mixing until a dough forms.
• 3 Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, around 10
  minutes.
• 4 Place the dough in a greased bowl, covering it and allowing it to rise until
  doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• 5 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and
  shape into rolls.
• 6 Place the rolls on a baking sheet and allow them to rise for an additional 20-30
  minutes.
• 7 If desired, gently brush with a beaten egg for a shinier finish. Bake for 15-20
  minutes or until golden brown.
• 8 Once out of the oven, brush with additional melted butter. Serve warm.
