Ingredients:
1 (1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast
1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk, scalded but cooled to warm
4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces
5 cups flour, plus more, as needed

 

Method:
1. In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.
2. Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Lightly oil your baking pan.
4. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange balls in baking pan and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour.
5. Preheat oven to 425 F.
6. Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown
 

Enjoy!
