Homemade Dinner Rolls

Instructions

1. Combine the warm milk (110-115˚F or 45˚C), melted butter, warm water (110-115˚F or 45˚C), and sugar in a large bowl and stir until mixed.
2. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the top of the mixture and let sit for 1 minute.
3. Add the salt, egg, and 4 cups (500g) of flour. Mix until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough.
4. Cover for 30 minutes with a towel or plastic wrap.
5. Uncover, and mix in the remaining cup of flour, and turn out onto a well-floured surface.
6. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball and loses some of its stickiness.
7. Cover for 30 more minutes with a towel or plastic wrap.
8. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
9. Uncover, and roll dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of a tangerine. Ensure the rolls are smooth with no cracks.
