Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | Water |
| 3 tbsp | Sugar |
| 2 1/2 tsp | Active dry yeast |
| 1/2 cup | Unsalted butter |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 2 cups | Bread flour |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 1/2 – 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 2 tbsp | Butter (for brushing) |
Instructions:
-
In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
-
Meanwhile, melt the unsalted butter in a glass bowl in the microwave.
-
Add milk to the melted butter and heat until lukewarm, ensuring it doesn’t exceed 110°F.
-
Pour the milk mixture into the yeast mixture in the mixer bowl.
-
Attach the dough hook and add bread flour and salt. Combine well.
-
Gradually add all-purpose flour until a slightly sticky dough ball forms.
-
Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes, adding more all-purpose flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
-
Place the dough ball in a greased or buttered bowl, turning to coat it with butter.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
-
Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
-
Divide the risen dough into approximately 20 pieces and shape each into a smooth ball. Arrange the balls in 5 rows in the prepared baking pan.
-
Loosely cover the pan and let the dough balls rise again until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
-
Using a spatula, make a deep crease down the center of each roll.
-
Allow the rolls to rise for an additional 15 minutes, covered.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the tops of the rolls with it.
-
Bake the rolls in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
