  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter 57g, divided (½ stick)
  • tsp instant yeast 7g (1 envelope)
  • cups all-purpose flour 300g, spooned and leveled

Instructions

  • Heat the milk, sugar, salt, and 2 tbsp of butter on the stove until the mixture reaches a temperature of 110°F. Do not overheat, or you may kill the yeast. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer.

  • Add in the flour, and mix on low for 3-4 minutes until a smooth ball of dough forms.
    2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • Cover the bowl of dough with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal balls (about 51g per ball), and place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cover the dough with a towel, and let it rise again for another 30 minutes.
  • Remove the towel and bake for 12-15 minutes until the rolls are golden brown on top.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter.
  • Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter.
