Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for soaking, melted)

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball or an oval, depending on your preference.
6. Prepare the Pan: Pour half of the melted butter for soaking into a baking dish. Arrange the rolls in the dish, leaving a little space between them.
7. Second Rise: Cover the dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size and are touching each other.
8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the rolls with a little more melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Soak in Butter: Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, pour the remaining melted butter over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
