Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (81 grams)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons butter melted, divided use
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 cups bread flour (about 566 to 600 grams)

Instructions

  • Heat the milk until it’s steaming and tiny bubbles form around the edges.
  • Pour the hot milk into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the water, sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted butter and let cool until warm to the touch (like a warm bath). Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5 to 7 minutes until foamy.
  • Add the egg, salt, and 3 3/4 to 4 cups of bread flour. Mix and continue adding flour gradually until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, sticky ball. Avoid adding too much flour. Continue kneading the dough on a low speed for 5 to 6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the soft dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Gently shape the dough into roughly square-shaped rolls. Place the dough on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Cover and let rise again until the rolls are very puffy and touching one another, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. When the oven reaches temperature, bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown on top and bottom.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush tops of rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Serve warm.
