Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm whole milk (105°F–115°F)
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for glaze
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a stand mixer bowl. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in the melted butter, egg, and sea salt until smooth.
  3. Gradually add flour. Use a dough hook on medium-low speed for 5–7 minutes until the dough is tacky and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 60 minutes).
  5. Punch the dough down and divide into 15 equal pieces (approx. 60g each). Roll into smooth balls.
  6. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again until puffy and touching (about 30–45 minutes).
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–22 minutes until the tops are golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F.
  8. Immediately brush the hot rolls with the additional 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
