Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups Bread Flour
  • 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast bread machine
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter + 1 tablespoon for brushing on the rolls before baking
  • 1 egg for the egg wash on top of the rolls before baking
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions
 

  • First, place the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a large mixing bowl. (I use my Electric Mixer Bowl)
  • Second, place the wet ingredients: milk and water into a microwaveable safe bowl and heat until the temperature reaches between 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. (Use a thermometer to make sure that it doesn't get so hot that it kills your yeast.)
  • Third, pour the milk and water mixture into the dry ingredients and give it a really good mix. (I use a large wooden spoon or a spatula.)
  • Next, add the melted butter and mix again.
  • Then, knead the dough with the electric mixer for 10 minutes. (I use the speed 2 for kneading dough on my mixer) You don't have to use an electric mixer, you can certainly knead the dough by hand. It will just take a little longer and a little more work. I would do 12-15 minutes of kneading by hand.
  • After the dough has been kneaded, then cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, take a glass baking dish and brush it with butter. I chose a glass baking dish that isn't so big that my rolls won't touch. I want them to be close for support while they rise.
  • Whenever the dough is done resting, sprinkle some of the bread flour on your table and pull the dough out of the mixing bowl and onto the floured table.
  • Knead just a couple of times and stretch the dough out into an oblong shape to cut into 8 portion sizes.
  • Take each sectioned portion of dough in your hand and knead it by rolling it into itself a couple of times. Then roll the dough in the palm of your hand until it becomes a ball.
  • Place the newly shaped rolls into the buttered baking dish.
  • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until they are doubled in size. (About an hour)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place rolls on the middle rack.
  • Bake rolls for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and browned on top.
  • Serve while piping hot with butter or alongside your favorite dish and ENJOY!
