Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 teaspoon sugar, warm water, and yeast in a small bowl and stir to mix. Set aside until bubbly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining sugar, milk, egg, melted butter, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add 1 cup of flour and the yeast mixture to the large bowl. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add remaining flour until a moderately firm dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until no longer sticky, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Place the dough in a large oiled bowl and turn to coat all surfaces. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  7. Punch down the risen dough. Pinch off portions about the size of a golf ball and shape into balls.
  8. Place the dough balls on a greased baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the rolls for about 8 minutes or until they start to brown.
  10. Brush the rolls generously with melted butter and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking for another 2-4 minutes until fully cooked.
  11. Remove from oven and brush again with melted butter. Serve warm.
