Buttery Soft Homemade Rolls

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk and ¼ cup sugar. Stir until dissolved. Sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast over the milk mixture. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Mix the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 3 cups bread flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Knead the Dough: Attach the dough hook and mix on low speed (speed 2 on KitchenAid) for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Scrape the bowl occasionally. First Rise: Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough to release air. Divide into 10-12 equal portions and roll into smooth balls. Place in a greased large cupcake tin. Second Rise: Cover and let rise for 30 minutes, or until puffy and touching. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
