Activate the yeast by dissolving it in the warm water and letting it sit until foamy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
In a saucepan, warm the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly.
Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm before adding to the yeast.
Combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, sugar, salt, and egg in a large mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the flour slowly to avoid lumps and achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then place it in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Knead for about 8-10 minutes for the best texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Punch down the dough and shape it into rolls. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
Shape the rolls evenly for uniform baking.
Let the rolls rise again until puffy.
This step ensures the rolls are light and fluffy.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F until golden brown.
Brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny finish.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy.
These rolls are best served fresh out of the oven.
