Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter divided
  • 3 ½ teaspoons dry active yeast
  • 3/4 cup water 105F - 115F, warm
  • 2 ½-3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease a rimmed 9x13-inch baking sheet; set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, stir milk, sugar, and 3 tablespoons butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  4. Add the yeast and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until yeast is foamy.
  5. Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
  6. With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. You may not need to use all of the flour.
  7. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clear the sides of the bowl.
  8. 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.
  9. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
  10. Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 15 minutes.
  11. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 15 equal pieces.
  12. Form each piece into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  13. Cover the baking sheet with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
  14. Bake at 375ºF for about 12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
  15. Toward the end of the baking time, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside.
  16. Brush rolls with melted butter.

Notes

  • Milk: You can use any milk from skim milk to whole milk in this recipe. Using a milk with a higher fat content (i.e. whole milk) will give you a slightly richer result.
  • Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. 
  • Yeast: Check out my note above the recipe if using instant yeast. 
  • Rising: To create a warm place for your rolls to rise, turn your oven to 350F for exactly 60 seconds. Then, turn your oven off. This will give your rolls a nice warm spot, which is especially important if you have a cool kitchen.
