Sweet Dinner Rolls

 Adapted from allrecipes.com

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup white sugar

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1 egg

1/3 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon salt

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup butter, melted

 

Mix the water and milk, microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds.  Poured it into a large bowl & stir in the sugar until dissolved.  Stirred in the yeast & allow to set for 10-15 minutes.

Add salt, butter and egg to bowl and mix until combined.  Add flour slowly (a half cup or so at a time). Once combined, kneed for 2-3 minutes, cover and let it rise for in the bowl for 1 hour.

 

Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into 16 balls.  Place dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Let rolls rise for another 1/2 hour.

 

Brush the top of each roll with melted butter and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
