Easy Big Fat Yeast Roll
Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 egg, room temperature
– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough will be slightly sticky but should come together.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for this step.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in the prepared baking dish. They should be touching each other.
8. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30-45 minutes until puffy.
9. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before placing them in the preheated oven.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
11. Remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter for that extra touch of indulgence.
12. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with more butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
