Ingredients

  • milk 2% or whole, 1¼ cups
  • water
  • butter melted, ¼ cup, salted
  • granulated sugar ¼ cup
  • instant yeast or active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon
  • egg large
  • salt
  • all-purpose flour I use about 560 grams, 4¼ to 4½ cups

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the milk until small bubbles appear around the edges and the milk is steaming. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
  2. Add the water, butter, and sugar. Allow the mixture to cool until warm (around 105 degrees F. (You don’t want it too hot, or it will kill the yeast.)
  3. Stir in the yeast and allow mixture to rest for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy and fully activated.
  4. Add the egg, salt, and flour (start with 3 3/4 to 4 cups flour) and mix, gradually adding more flour until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, sticky ball. Knead dough for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
  5. Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about an hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the middle rack. Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
  7. Lightly punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly greased countertop.
  8. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place in the prepared pan, spaced 1/2-inch apart. Cover and let the rolls rise until doubled in size.
  9. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden on the tops and bottoms. Rub the tops of the hot rolls with more butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
