Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm milk 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  2. Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add flour a cup at a time until soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down; divide into 18 balls. Arrange in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  6. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  7. Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter immediately after removing from oven. Serve warm.
