Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more if needed, divided
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk warmed
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tablespoons butter to brush

Instructions

  • To a stand mixer bowl with a dough hook attached, add 3 cups of flour, yeast, and salt.
  • In a saucepan add milk and ½ cup butter. Heat* until butter is melted. Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
  • Add milk mixture to flour and mix on low speed. Scrape sides as needed. Beat egg and add to dough mixture. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • At low speed, gradually add the remaining 1 cup flour. Turn speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes until a dough is formed. If dough is sticking to sides, add flour 1T at a time to create a ball, but only enough to do so.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover and allow to rise for 60 min. It should be doubled in size.
  • Punch down, pulling the sides of dough to the center and press down. Set on a lightly floured surface, cover with bowl, and allow to rise 15 min.
  • Cut into two pieces. Roll each piece to a size of about 9 x 11. Melt 1 T butter, and brush rolled out dough.
  • Cut each section in half lengthwise creating 4 - 4½ x 11 inch pieces. Fold each in half lengthwise and leave a bit of the buttered side exposed. Cut each piece into 4 even sized pieces. This will create 16 pieces.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch pan with 1 Tablespoon butter. Turn rolls over and place four in a row (the longer side will be parallel with the long side of the dish)
  • Cover with a towel and rise for about 45 min.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Bake 20-25 min until golden brown. Remove and cool slightly, then brush each top with butter.

Notes

  • *Alternately heat in the microwave just until the butter melts in the milk.
