Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup warm whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
- 1 large egg
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1/4 cup melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 8–10 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll dough to 1/2-inch thick and cut into 2×4-inch rectangles. Fold each piece in half.
- Place folded rolls seam-side down in greased baking dish. Let rise 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with more butter while warm and serve.
Notes
- Let dough rise fully for soft, airy rolls.
- Don’t skip the buttery brush — it’s key to flavor and shine.
- Make-ahead: Store shaped rolls in fridge overnight, bake next day.
