Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, stir milk, sugar, and 1/3 cup butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until yeast is foamy.
- Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
- Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 15 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece of dough a circle that’s about 9 inches in diameter.
- Melt the remaining butter, and brush dough with half of the remaining melted butter.
- Cut into dough into 8 pieces.
- Roll each piece up, starting at the wide end.
- Place on rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Repeat with remaining dough, using the remaining half of the melted butter.
- Cover the baking sheet with a dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Bake for about 7-10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Rolls are best enjoyed while warm.
Notes
- I've used everything from skim milk to whole milk to make these rolls, and they work well with every type of milk.
- If you'd like to use instant yeast, substitute an equal amount of instant yeast. Skip the 5-10 minute wait, and continue with the recipe as written.
