Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, in a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle in the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This ensures that our rolls will rise beautifully. Next, stir in the melted butter and egg until well combined. Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Now, this is the fun part: knead the dough for about 6-8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Don’t worry if it feels a bit sticky; that just means your rolls will be soft!
