Grandma Rita’s Soft Butter Rolls
These delightful butter rolls are known for their soft texture and rich flavor, making them perfect for any meal. Paired with butter or jam, they provide a luxurious experience for the taste buds.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Additional butter for brushing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes or until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, and egg. Add the foamy yeast mixture and stir until well blended.
- Gradually add in 3 ½ cups of flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1-1.5 hours.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- Place the balls on a greased baking sheet, close together but not touching, cover them with the towel, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter, and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these soft butter rolls warm from the oven, perfect for any occasion.
