Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra if needed
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
- Add melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture, and stir to combine.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If dough is too sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes, until puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm, brushed with extra melted butter if desired.
