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.
