Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast (active dry or instant)
- 1 cup milk (warm)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: Warm the milk until just warm (not hot). Stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the egg and the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Garlic Butter Finish (Optional): Brush with melted garlic butter while warm for extra flavor.
Notes
- To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheese inside before rolling into balls.
- For dairy-free rolls, use almond or oat milk and a vegan butter substitute.
