Ingredients (Makes 12 rolls)

  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (+ extra for dusting)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (+ extra for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast:
  • In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  1. Make the Dough:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  • Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  1. First Rise:
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  1. Shape the Rolls:
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball.
  • Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or on a baking sheet.
  1. Second Rise:
  • Cover and let rise for another 20–30 minutes until doubled in size.
  1. Bake:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake rolls for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.

Tips for Success

  • Warm Environment: Place dough in a warm spot (like near a preheating oven) to speed up rising.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare dough the night before and refrigerate. Let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
  • Add Flavor: Mix in garlic powder, herbs, or grated cheese for savory rolls.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
  • Perfect for holiday dinners, soups, or sandwiches.
