Servings: 24 rolls
Ingredients
- 1½ cups warm milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons quick rise yeast
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- 5 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted, for tops
Instructions
- Add warm milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar and yeast to bowl of stand mixer. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, egg and 4 cups of the flour. Mix on low until all combined.
- Add more flour ¼ cup at a time while mixing on low, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and clings to the dough hook. To test if you have enough flour, pinch the dough with your fingers. The dough should be smooth and a tad tacky, but it should not stick to your fingers when pinched.
- Increase the speed to medium-low (level 2) and knead the dough for 2 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- Place dough in a bowl sprayed or brushed with olive oil, spray top of dough as well and cover with plastic wrap or clean towel.
- Let dough rise for at least 30 minutes and doubled in size in a warm, draft free area.
- Punch dough down, place on lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangular log. Cut log into 24 even pieces, by cutting log in half, then each half in half, and those halves into half and then each piece into thirds.
- Shape each piece into rolls, place in a greased 9x13 rimmed baking sheet or baking pan.
- Cover and let rise another 15-30 minutes until doubled.
- While rising, preheat oven to 375°F.
- Uncover rolls, and bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and rolls sound hollow when tapped.
- Brush tops of rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
