Quick Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter

  softened
• 1 cup warm water

  or combination of warm water and warm milk
• 1 egg

Instructions

• 1 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add 2 cups of flour,
  yeast, sugar, and salt; mix and combine the ingredients.
• 2 Add the softened butter, warm water, and egg. Mix on low speed, scraping the
  bowl as necessary for about 1 minute.
• 3 Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
• 4 Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until its smooth and elastic,
  about 6 to 8 minutes.
• 5 Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place
  until doubled, about 20 minutes.
• 6 Meanwhile, grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
• 7 Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough
  into 36 equal size pieces and shape them into balls. Place 3 balls in each
  muffin cup.
• 8 Cover the muffin tin with wrap and let rise while the oven is preheating to
  400°F; about 15 to 20 minutes.
• 9 Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake until golden brown; about 18 to 22
  minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter one more time. Let
  cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin and serving.
