Dough Ingredients

Butter for Serving

Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, and egg. Mix well, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Using your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 5

    Shape the Rolls

    After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls in a greased baking dish, allowing some space between each.

  2. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they puff up.

  3. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 8

    Bake the Rolls

    Once the rolls have risen, place them in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare the Butter

    While the rolls are baking, take the stick of unsalted butter out of the fridge to soften.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the softened butter.
