Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to rest for approximately 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Add melted butter, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.
  • Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour and continue to knead the dough with the dough hook attachment until it's smooth and elastic about 5-7 minutes.
  • Form the dough into a round shape and position it in a bowl that has been coated with grease. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Gently deflate the fully risen dough and separate it into 12 evenly sized portions. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the bread rolls with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Let them cool on a wire rack while removing from the oven.
