Soft, fluffy copycat rolls that are buttery and slightly sweet with tender pillowy texture. Restaurant-quality rolls made with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups warm milk (105-110°F)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing

Instructions

  1. Pour warm milk into large mixing bowl and add yeast and sugar. Let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add softened butter, room-temperature egg, and kosher salt to bowl. Stir to combine.
  3. Add 2 cups flour and beat vigorously for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add remaining 1.5 to 2 cups flour, one handful at a time, mixing constantly until dough comes together into soft, slightly sticky mass.
  5. Knead for another minute or two until dough feels smooth and elastic.
  6. Lightly grease large bowl with butter or oil and place dough inside, turning once to coat all sides. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap or damp towel and let rise in warm, draft-free spot for 45-60 minutes until dough roughly doubles in size.
  7. Punch down dough gently and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Roll dough into rectangle approximately 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Cut rectangle into 24-30 equal pieces.
  9. Arrange pieces on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Cover baking sheets and let rolls rise for another 45-60 minutes until puffy and springy.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  11. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until tops are deep golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and immediately brush entire surface of each warm roll with melted butter.

Notes

  • Use all-purpose flour for best results.
  • Active dry yeast should be proofed first in warm milk.
  • Warm milk should be 105-110°F to activate yeast properly without killing it.
  • Don’t add too much flour too quickly or rolls will be dense.
  • Allow proper rising time in warm, draft-free area for best texture.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for signature soft, buttery crust.
  • Measure flour by spooning into cup and leveling off for accuracy.
