1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted (for brushing)
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and add yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat milk and butter until the butter is melted. Allow to cool slightly.
Add the milk mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir in flour, a little at a time, and add salt.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces, and shape each into a ball.
Place the balls in a greased baking pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
You can add garlic powder, dried herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even shredded cheese for different variations.
Make these rolls ahead of time by refrigerating the dough overnight.
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
