Easy Yeast Rolls

First things first, we gotta get our ingredients laid out. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delightful rolls:

2 cups warm milk (about 110°F)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 packages active dry yeast (1/4 oz each)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg

Now that we got our ingredients ready, let’s get to the magic of making these rolls!

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
Once the yeast is activated, stir in the melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the egg and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until smooth, then gradually add more flour, one cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into small balls. Place the rolls on a greased baking dish, cover with the cloth, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
Finally, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for that extra shine and flavor. Enjoy!

There you have it, folks! These easy yeast rolls are sure to bring joy to your table. Serve them warm and watch as they disappear quick. Happy baking!
