Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar and yeast in warm water and let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until yeast begins to foam.
- Thoroughly mix milk, melted butter, sugar, beaten egg, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the yeast mixture and 3 1/2 cups of flour, adding more if necessary to make a soft, pliable dough.
- Turn dough out on a floured board and let rest while you clean and butter a bowl.
- Knead dough gently for 4 to 5 minutes, adding flour until the dough is smooth and silky.
- Return the dough to the bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Butter a 12-cup muffin pan.
- Punch down the dough; pinch off pieces about 1 1/2 inches in diameter or enough to fill half a muffin cup and roll into smooth spheres.
- Place two pieces in each prepared muffin cup; it should be a tight fit.
- Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
- Serve as soon as they cool enough to throw.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh by checking the expiration date. If you want a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. If you don't have dry yeast, you can use active dry yeast but double the amount. Adjust the flour gradually to avoid a dry dough. A light sprinkle of flour on your hands will help prevent sticking while shaping the rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are best served warm and can be enjoyed with butter or your favorite jam. They pair beautifully with hearty dishes like soups or stews, making them perfect for a cozy dinner. You might also consider serving them alongside Gummy Gooey Cake for a delightful dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them briefly, but they may lose some texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my rolls not rise properly?
If your rolls didn't rise, it could be due to expired yeast or not using warm enough water. Make sure the water temperature is between 100°F and 110°F to activate the yeast. Also, ensure to let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for the best results.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise, then punch it down and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking. This method can enhance the flavor and texture of the rolls.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can make the rolls dense. Kneading the dough well will also help develop the gluten and improve the texture.
