1/3 cup Sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp. Salt
4 ½ cup all purpose flour
4 Tbs. softened butter
Head to your pantry and refrigerator and grab your ingredients, and let’s get cooking.
If you want you can use a stand mixer with the dough hook to stir and knead the dough or you can do it by hand. Either way works!
How To Buttery Make Homemade Rolls
To start, pour yeast into a large bowl with warm water. Mix until the yeast dissolves, then cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
Then, in another bowl, add in your sugar, butter and salt into the hot milk. Allow it to cool for a few minutes till it is around 105 degrees.
Then add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture, along with the egg. Mix in the flour one cup at a time, until it becomes a soft dough.
Then on a floured surface, you want to knead the dough lightly for five minutes.
Next, spray a bowl with cooking spray, put the dough in, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to sit for an hour to an hour and a half, so that it can rise.
The dough will double in size after it sits. You want to punch it down and knead for another five minutes. Then begin to pinch off small chunks of dough to form balls (1 3/4 inches to 2 inches size) for your hot rolls.
Place in a greased 9×13 size pan and allow to rise for about 45 minutes or until the rolls have doubled in size.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes. Brush with butter and serve warm.

Perfect recipe. Came out so well. Thank you, Judy!
These are very easy to make, most other recipes take to long.
Thank you so much for this!
This recipe using 4.5 cups of all purpose flour only needs one Tablespoon of butter? I want to try this but it seems like the proper amount of butter needed here is missing.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention! That was a typo and I have corrected it. It is 4 Tablespoons of softened butter.😊
