Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
3. Gradually add 3 1/2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
8. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter. Serve warm.
