Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Whole Milk Warm
2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast 1 Package
3 ½ cups Bread Flour
3 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
5 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Room temperature, cubed
1 large Egg

Instructions

In a liquid measuring cup, add the warm milk and sprinkle the yeast on top of the milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Turn the mixer on and mix well.
Turn off the mixer and add the egg, cubed butter, and yeast mixture. Set the mixer on low speed for 8-10 minutes. The mixture will look very wet, but it will come together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise at room temperature for 90 minutes to 2 hours. The dough will look light and fluffy and double in size when it is ready.
Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and flatten it out. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape the dough into balls. Place the dough balls in the prepared baking dish. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. After 1 hour, mix together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg mixture over the rolls. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Serve immediately.

Notes

The dough will take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours to rise. If your kitchen is colder, it might take close to 2 hours to rise. If it's a warmer day, it might be closer to 1 hour when the dough has risen properly.
If the dough is too sticky after the first rise, don't be afraid to add more flour to your work surface when you are shaping the dough. Also adding flour to your hands will keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
The rolls are done when they look golden brown on top and when they push back from you press your finger into them.
