Dough Ingredients

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F/43°C) with granulated sugar and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with melted unsalted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Shape the Rolls

    Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 12-15). Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

  8. 8

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  9. 9

    Bake the Rolls

    Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

  10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
