Homemade Dinner Rolls

Directions

1. In a standing mixer with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy. Stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups of flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.
2. Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Lightly oil a 6 cup, 3 inch muffin pan. Punch dough down and form into 1 inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin cup. Cover with towel and allow to rise and additional 1/2 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush rolls with remaining melted butter. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
