3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
3½ cups all-purpose flour

3. Gradually add flour, mixing until the dough is soft and tacky.
4. Knead for 5–7 minutes by hand or with a dough hook.
5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it to ½-inch thickness. Cut into squares or rounds.
7. Arrange on a greased baking sheet and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
8. Bake at 350°F for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Brush the tops with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes

You can freeze baked rolls and reheat when needed.
