Soft, fluffy breakfast rolls that are perfect for make-ahead mornings, combining buttery richness with a tender crumb, ideal for serving with spreads or jams.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  7. Shape each piece into a roll and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Let the rolls rest for 15 minutes, then bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
