Ingredients

3 1/2 cups bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon fine salt
Nonstick spray or oil for greasing bowl

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir in melted butter and egg until well blended.
2
Add bread flour and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
3
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
5
Cover and let rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled.
6
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown on top. Immediately brush with additional melted butter.
7
Cool slightly and serve warm for maximum fluffiness!
