Ingredients
Instructions
  1. First, scald your milk. Once it’s scalded, set it aside and let it cool to a warm temperature (you don’t want it hotter than 100 degrees when adding it to the rest of the mixture).
  2. In a separate bowl, combine your butter (soft/room temperature), egg, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  3. While you are waiting for your milk to cool, activate the yeast. Do this by adding yeast to 1 cup of water. The water should be warm enough that it activates the yeast, but not so hot that it kills it. Somewhere between 100-110 degrees is perfect. The yeast should look nice and foamy on top. Set aside for a few minutes.
  4. When the milk has cooled, add it to the dough mixture and stir thoroughly.
  5. Add 1 cup of the flour. Then, add the yeast mixture, mixing well. Add the rest of the flour, one cup at a time. When it becomes too thick to stir, knead the dough by hand. Add 6-7 cups of flour until it has a slightly sticky consistency. Do not add too much flour, or your dough will be dry.
  6. Roll dough into a ball and set it in a big bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rise for 2 hours.
  7. After two hours of rising, form the dough into rolls. Form rolls by first rolling a piece of the dough into a ball. Next, flatten the ball in your hand, kind of pressing it to more of a squarish shape rather than a circle. Now, fold over the two sides, bringing one side across the other. Repeat the folding with the top and the bottom as well. You end up folding over all four sides of the dough.
  8. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Very lightly spray the top with a non-stick spray and cover the rolls with a towel. Let rolls rise for another 2 hours.
  9. During the last 20 minutes of rise time, heat your oven to 350.
  10. Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  11. After removing from the oven, immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
  12. Enjoy fresh out the of the oven, or store in a container for up to a week.
