Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 16 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water, room temperature
  • 3 tsp dry yeast or bread machine yeast
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 3 1/4 cups bread flour (may substitute all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp Salted butter, melted, for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mixed together your water and yeast. Allow it to proof for five minutes.

  2. Any large bowl adds your butter, egg, flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Once your yeast is done proofing, add that in. Mix again.

  3. Transfer your dough to a lightly floured flat surface.

  4. Pinch the bottom of your roll to make your role stay together (see process picture).

  5. Allow your rolls to sit and rise for an additional 30 minutes. Cover with a clean dish towel.

  6. While your rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F.

  7. Transfer your rolls (pinch side down) to a greased cookie sheet. You may need one large cookie sheet, or two small cookie sheets.

  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  9. Once out of the oven, brush with your melted butter.
