Old-Fashioned Soft and Buttery Yeast Rolls

Old-Fashioned Soft and Buttery Yeast Rolls

These Old Fashioned Yeast Rolls Recipe are rich, fluffy, salty, a little sweet, and absolutely delicious. Between the heavy cream and the honey butter, these dinner rolls are full of moisture. So addicting and worth all of the work, I promise.Baking homemade bread, like these yeast rolls or my Rosemary Parmesan Bread, has been something I have recently fallen in love with.

Ingredients

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

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
3. Mix in 3 cups of flour and the salt until the dough comes together.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased baking dish.
7. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Beat the eggs and brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
10. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
11. Brush the baked rolls with melted butter before serving.
    Tips:

• Make sure the milk is not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
• Allow enough time for the dough to rise for soft and fluffy rolls.
• Brushing the rolls with butter after baking will give them a nice shine and extra flavor.
