Recipe View While the rolls are still warm, brush the tops generously with the remaining melted butter for a glossy finish and enhanced flavor. (2 minutes)

For an extra rich flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes.
Ensure your milk and water aren't too hot, as this can kill the yeast. They should be warm to the touch, around 110°F.
To create a warm environment for rising, place the dough in a turned-off oven with the light on, or in a warm spot in your kitchen away from drafts.

    I've made these rolls several times now, and they always turn out perfect. The recipe is easy to follow, and the results are restaurant-quality.

  • Linda Damore

    My yeast didn't activate the first time, so I had to start over. Make sure your water and milk aren't too hot! But the second batch was perfect.

  • Nicolas Herman

    These rolls were absolutely amazing! So soft and buttery, they were a huge hit at Thanksgiving.

  • Dock Hauck

    The only change I made was adding a touch of honey to the dough for a slightly sweeter flavor. Delicious!
