Butterflake Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 egg
• 4 tbsp melted butter, plus more for brushing

Method

1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in the warm milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons melted butter to form a soft dough.
2. Knead until smooth, about 6 minutes. Cover and rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Roll the dough out thinly, brush with the remaining melted butter, and cut into strips.
4. Stack and fold the strips into muffin cups to create layers.
5. Let rise 20 minutes.
6. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden. Brush with more butter.

Notes

Grease the muffin tin well so the rolls release cleanly.
