Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 4 to 4 ½ cups

- Warm Milk: 1 cup (about 110°F)
- Sugar: ¼ cup
- Butter: ¼ cup, melted
- Egg: 1 large
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Warm Water: ½ cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Punch down dough, divide into 12–15 equal pieces, and shape into balls. Arrange in the prepared pan.
- Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until doubled again.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush hot rolls with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
- Always use fresh yeast for the best rise.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area.
- Brush with honey butter for a sweet variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
