Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 large egg (optional)
  • Optional toppings: sea salt or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add warm milk and melted butter (plus egg if using) and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl and let dough rise at room temperature for 1.5–2 hours until doubled.
  4. Grease your hands and divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls.
  5. Place balls in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, slightly spaced apart.
  6. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Brush tops with melted butter or beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  10. Brush with more melted butter after baking for extra softness.

Notes

  • Add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for flavor variation.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a heartier roll (swap half the flour).
  • Shape into knots or cloverleafs for a unique presentation.
  • Sprinkle sea salt or sesame seeds on top before baking.
  • Dough can be refrigerated overnight for a make-ahead option.
