Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings 24 rolls

Ingredients

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 pkt instant rise yeast .25oz
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F

  2. Warm the milk in a microwavable container to between 110-120F - ours was 113F

  3. Add about 3 cups of flour, instant rise yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg to a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until combined. Continue adding flour until the dough pulls from the sides of the bowl and can be formed into a ball without coming apart on your hands.

  4. If you don't have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, then knead the dough by hand for a few minutes.

  5. Warm a bowl by rinsing it under warm water, and towel dry. Spray the bowl with cooking spray, and place the dough ball inside it. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot for 30-minutes - we put ours on top of a wire rack on top of the oven.

  6. Punch the dough and separate it into 24 equal balls. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray and place the dough balls inside. Cover with plastic wrap and place it back onto a warm spot for another 30-minutes. You'll notice the balls will rise and the edges against each other.

  7. Put the dish into the oven for 12-15 minutes. Start at 12 and then keep checking it until they are browned on top.
