Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Once frothy, add the melted unsalted butter, salt, and gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Punch the risen dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces, shaping each into a roll.
  7. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Brush the tops with warm garlic butter.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven, brush with additional garlic butter, and serve warm.
