This tasty bread recipe is simple to make, with less mess to clean up. Great for first-time bread baking.

  • Total Time: 2 hours and 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1-1/3 cups warm milk, around 100 degrees (microwave cold milk for about 1 minute on high)
  • 2 (.04 ounce) packages of active dry yeast (or 4 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 cups pre-sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Butter the sides of a large mixing bowl and a 9x13 baking pan.
  2. Melt the 5 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl, and set aside.
  3. Place the whole egg and egg yolk in a small bowl, and set aside.
  4. Stir the active yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar into the warm milk and let sit 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
  5. Meanwhile, mix together flour, salt, and the rest of the sugar into a large bowl. 
  6. Add eggs to the flour mixture and begin stirring with a mixer, then mix in the 5 tablespoons of melted butter and the yeast mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined; the dough will be sticky.
  7. Put bread dough into the buttered bowl turning the dough once to butter all sides of the dough and cover the bowl with a damp cloth; let the dough rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size in a place where the temperature is around 70 degrees.
  8. Punch dough down with the back of your fist, then make 12 equal-sized rolls and place them in the buttered baking pan.
  9. Cover with the same damp towel and let rise again for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  10. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  11. Brush the tops of the rolls with the rest of the melted butter.
  12. Bake for 25 minutes.
  13. Brown under the broiler for no more than 1 minute if desired.
  14. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container; rolls also freeze well in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Using a silicone-coated spoon to stir the sticky dough makes less mess.
  • A stand mixer can be used with the dough attachment to mix the dough thoroughly with no kneading. 
  • Use an ice cream scoop to make 12 equal-sized rolls.
  • Or, divide the dough in half until you have 4 equal part pieces, then divide each piece into 3 equal parts to make 12 rolls.
  • Bread can be baked into 2 small loaf pans.
