🥛 Soft & Fluffy Glazed Dinner Rolls

Ingredients
For the Rolls
4 cups all-purpose flour (500g)
1 cup warm milk (240ml)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
2¼ teaspoons instant yeast (7g)
1 large egg
¼ cup melted butter (55g)
½ teaspoon salt (3g)
For the Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar (60g)
2–3 tablespoons warm milk (30–45ml)
1 tablespoon melted butter (14g)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml)
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Add the wet ingredients: Add the egg and melted butter, then whisk until well combined.
Make the dough: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the rolls: Gently punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Second rise: Arrange the dough balls close together in a greased baking pan. Cover and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for 18–25 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.
Make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Glaze: Brush the freshly baked rolls with melted butter if desired, then generously drizzle or brush the glaze over the warm rolls.
Serve: Let them rest for a few minutes, then pull them apart and enjoy while they’re soft, warm, and delicious! 😍🥖
