Hey bread lovers! 🍞 If you’re all about that soft, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth kind of bread, then these Soft Buttery Yeast Rolls are about to become your new obsession.
They’re perfect for dinner, holidays, or honestly just snacking because why not?! Let’s get our dough game on! 👩🍳💪
📝 Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F, not too hot!)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
👩🍳 Directions:
1. Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy and bubbly (that means it’s alive and ready to go!). 🫧
2. Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg. Stir until a dough starts to form. If it’s sticky, add a little more flour, but don’t overdo it. You want it soft, not dry! 👌

3. Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If you poke it and it bounces back, you nailed it! 💪
4. First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it doubles in size. ⏳
5. Shape the Rolls:
After the dough has risen, punch it down (this is the fun part 😏) and divide it into 12-15 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover again and let them rise for another 30 minutes, until they get all puffy and cute. 🥰
6. Bake the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen is gonna smell amazing right now! 😍
7. Butter ‘Em Up:
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with even more melted butter. This is how you get that next-level buttery goodness! ✨
8. Serve & Enjoy:
Let them cool slightly, but honestly, they’re best when they’re warm and fresh. Break one open and feel that soft, pillowy texture. SO GOOD! 😋🍞
