Now, before we unleash our inner bakers, let’s gather the party essentials. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. First, let’s get those tiny yeast creatures into action! In a small bowl, mix the warm water and yeast. Add a pinch of sugar and allow them to frolic for about 5-10 minutes—until it’s all frothy and bubbling. If your water’s too hot, yeasty won’t party hard, and if it’s too cold, well, it’ll just hit snooze.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, salt, and egg. Once the yeast is ready, combine it with this buttery concoction.
  3. Now, let’s sprinkle in the flour! Start with 3 cups and mix until a dough forms. Feeling adventurous? You can knead in extra flour if the dough feels too sticky and needy. Knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and quite the charmer.
  4. Pop that dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise until it doubles in size—about an hour. Time to let it take a nap while you plan your feast!
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down (that’s right, give it a little love tap!) and then shape it into about 12 rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet, cover them again, and let them rise for another 30 minutes. They’re really making you work for that homemade goodness!
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake those beauties for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and make your kitchen smell like Heaven!
  7. Cool slightly, then enjoy the softest, fluffiest rolls you’ve ever laid eyes on. Perfect with butter, garlic, or whatever delightful toppings you think of—seriously, get creative!
