Ingredients
- 1¼ cups milk warmed
- 1 (¼-ounce) package active dry yeast 2¼ teaspoons
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled (375g), plus more for kneading
- Extra-virgin-olive oil for brushing
For topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- sea salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir together the milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Proof for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy. If the yeast doesn’t foam, discard the mixture and start again with new yeast.
- Add the remaining sugar, the melted butter, and salt to the bowl. Mix on low speed to combine, then add 1 cup of the flour and mix on low speed until mostly combined. Add another 1 cup of the flour and mix on low speed to combine, then repeat with the remaining cup of flour. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes, or until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms around the hook. It should be slapping the sides of the bowl and pulling away from the bottom.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to form into a ball. The dough should be slightly sticky, but if it’s too sticky to work with, work in a little more flour. Brush a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Brush a baking sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball by rolling on the countertop with a cupped hand. Place each piece onto the baking sheet. Dust the tops with a very slight amount of flour to prevent sticking. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour, or until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and move an oven rack to a low position.
- Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and a pinch of salt. Brush over the warm rolls and serve.
