Ingredients
- 1½ cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- coarse kosher salt for topping
Instructions
- Add the yeast and sugar to warm water and allow the yeast to bloom. This will take about 5 minutes. You'll know it's blooming when you see little puffs of expanded yeast float to the top and it gets nice and foamy.
- Add the softened butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the bowl. Turn the mixer on medium speed and mix the ingredients until they are combined. Add in the remaining flour a little at a time just until the dough is only slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough for 2 minutes on low speed until the dough is smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tea towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF while the dough rises. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Remove the cover on the bowl and punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place them in the pan. You want to stretch the top of the ball and pinch the bottom together so that there is a smooth top.
- Brush them with melted butter and let them rise an additional 15 minutes.
- Place them in the oven, uncovered for 13 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil them for 1 minute to get the golden brown tops.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with butter. Sprinkle the tops with coarse salt and enjoy!
