Easy Yeast Rolls

These rolls are not only simple to make but they also require just a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. The best part? They’re so versatile; you can enjoy them with butter, jam, or as a side with your favorite meal.

Ingredients

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg

Instructions

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk along with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and salt. Once the yeast is ready, add it to the mixture along with the egg. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the flour based on the consistency of the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12-15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter for that extra touch. Serve warm and enjoy!

These easy yeast rolls are sure to become a favorite in your household. Whether you’re pairing them with dinner or serving them fresh out of the oven, they are a slice of heaven you don’t want to miss. Happy baking!
