Description

“These soft and buttery homemade rolls are light, fluffy, and irresistibly tender with a golden crust. Perfect for holiday feasts or everyday meals, this easy recipe guarantees bakery-quality rolls every time!”


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

 

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast

    • In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Mix the Dough

    • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough

    • Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
  • First Rise

    • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  • Shape the Rolls

    • Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Shape into balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Second Rise

    • Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  • Bake

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.

 

  • Brush with Butter

    • Brush freshly baked rolls with melted butter for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare dough in advance and refrigerate after the first rise. Bring to room temperature before shaping and baking.
  • Storage: Keep at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate for 5 days, or freeze for 3 months.

 

  • Reheating: Warm in a 300°F oven for 5–10 minutes or microwave for 15–20 seconds.
