Recipe:

Ingredients:

4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour

1/4 cup (50g) sugar

1 tsp salt

2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) instant yeast

1 cup (240ml) warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)

1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

Sesame seeds (optional)

2 tbsp butter for brushing

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Add the softened butter and egg, mixing well.

Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead:

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

First Rise:

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls:

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (about 20-24 pieces). Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased baking dish.

Second Rise:

Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffed up.

Bake:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds on top (optional).

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve:

Brush the warm rolls with additional butter for extra shine and flavor. Serve immediately.

Enjoy these delightful dinner rolls warm, and fresh from the oven!
