Soft and Fluffy Dinner Rolls

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar.

Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.

Mix until a sticky dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes.

4. First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, until doubled in size.

5. Shape the Rolls

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12–16 equal portions.

Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.

6. Second Rise

Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

7. Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown on top.

8. Finish

Brush warm rolls with melted butter for extra softness and flavor.

Serve warm.
