Equipment

- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
- 1 clean kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour Plus more for dusting.
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water 110°F.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted, plus more for brushing.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
- Add the melted butter and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. You may need additional flour for dusting.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them close together. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- After the dough has risen, bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Once done, remove from the oven and brush the tops with additional melted butter for extra flavor.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
