Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp dry active yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water 110 degrees F
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Mix the yeast and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
  • Whisk together the milk, egg, oil, sugar and salt. Add this to the yeast/water and stir to combine. Add all the flour and stir with the dough hook to form a shaggy dough.
  • Knead on low for 8-10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
  • Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in bulk.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured work surface. Cut into 12 pieces and shape the rolls into little packages by rolling against the counter.
  • Heat the oven to 375 and place the rolls in a parchment lined 13x9 pan that has been greased with cooking spray. Cover with the towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Brush the rolls with the melted butter and then bake for 18 minutes until the tops are browned.
  • Remove from the pan immediately and set the rolls and parchment paper on a wire rack to cool.

Notes

These are best eaten the day of but do freeze nicely for several months.
