Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (110°F / 43°C) with sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dough base: In your stand mixer bowl, whisk eggs lightly. Add the yeast mixture, flour, and salt. Mix with the dough hook on low speed until a rough dough forms, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add butter gradually: Soften butter should be added in small chunks while mixer runs on medium speed for 6-8 minutes until dough is glossy and sticky. Add flour by tablespoon if dough seems too wet.
  4. Knead and rest: Continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes by hand). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls: Punch down dough gently. Divide into 12 equal pieces (~2 ounces / 60g each). Roll each into a smooth ball and arrange on baking sheet or pan.
  6. Second rise: Cover with towel and let rolls rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) about 15 minutes before baking.
  8. Egg wash and bake: Brush rolls with egg wash. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  9. Final butter touch: Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use warm milk at about 110°F to activate yeast without killing it. Add softened butter gradually for tender crumb. Avoid overbaking to keep rolls soft. Final brush of melted butter after baking adds shine and richness. Dough can be kneaded by hand if no mixer is available.
