Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast mixture: Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Sprinkle the active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar over the milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix the dough ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture, melted butter, honey (if using), and egg. Mix until a smooth, soft, and slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until elastic and soft. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for this step.
  4. Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape and second rise: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place close together in a buttered baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes.
  6. Bake to golden perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly brush the rolls with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  7. Final buttery glaze: Remove rolls from the oven and immediately brush generously with melted butter to lock in moisture and create the signature buttery sheen.

Notes

  • Warm milk carefully; too hot will kill the yeast.
  • Use fresh, active yeast for best rise and fluffiness.
  • Keep dough slightly sticky for soft rolls; do not add too much flour.
  • Double rising is key to achieve a fluffy texture.
  • Brush butter generously after baking for authentic flavor and moistness.
  • Customize rolls by adding herbs, cheese, or making them vegan/gluten-free.
