Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in the warm milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter.
3. Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
7. Cut into 2-inch squares and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until doubled.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
10. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Brush warm rolls with additional melted butter and serve hot.
