1 tsp salt
1 large egg
3 ¼–3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
Activate the yeast:
In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Stir in flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
Knead:
Knead 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if sticky.
First rise:
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled.
Shape:
Punch down dough. Divide into 12–15 balls. Arrange in a greased baking dish.
Second rise:
Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Bake:
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden on top.
