Instructions

Activate yeast: In a large bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5–10 minutes, until frothy.

Make dough: Add softened butter, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic (you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook).

First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shape rolls: Punch down dough and divide into 12–15 equal portions. Shape into balls and place in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet.

Second rise: Cover rolls and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Brush and serve: Remove from oven and brush with melted butter while warm. Serve fresh.

Notes

Use plant-based milk and vegan butter to make them dairy-free.
You can refrigerate the shaped rolls overnight, then bake the next day.

These freeze well—reheat in the oven wrapped in foil.
