Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter, beaten egg, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed.
Step 4: First Rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough. Divide into equal portions and shape into rolls (round or oval).
Step 6: Second Rise
Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Keto and Low-Carb Variations
