## **Instructions**

### **Step 1: Activate the Yeast**
1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means the yeast is active.

### **Step 2: Make the Dough**
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook.)

### **Step 3: First Rise**
1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

### **Step 4: Shape the Rolls**
1. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
2. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

### **Step 5: Bake**
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
3. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra softness and shine.
