Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, melted butter, milk, and activated yeast. Mix until a dough forms. 3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size. 4. Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into rolls and place them on a baking sheet. 5. Let the rolls rise again until puffy, then brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish. 6. Bake in a preheated oven until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. 7. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
