1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
1/2 cup butter melted
Directions:
In large bowl of an electric mixer, combine water and dry milk powder, stirring until milk dissolves.
Add yeast, then sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups of the flour.
Mix on low speed until ingredients are wet. Increase mixer speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups flour; mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then for 2 minutes at medium speed. (Dough will be getting stiff, and remaining flour may need to be mixed in by hand.) Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix again until dough is soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff. (It is not necessary to use the entire amount of flour.)
Scrape dough off sides of the bowl and pour about one tablespoon of vegetable oil; work oil all around the sides of the bowl. Turn dough over in a bowl so it is covered with oil. (This helps prevent dough from drying out.) Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Sprinkle the cutting board or counter with flour and place dough on a floured board. Roll out and shape as desired. Place on greased or parchment-lined baking pans. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until rolls are doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 375° F for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned. Brush with melted butter while hot. Serve with honey butter or raspberry honey butter. Makes 1 1/2 to 3 dozen rolls, depending on shape and size of rolls.
Note: You can freeze shaped rolls for later use. Simply double the amount of yeast used when making dough if freezing. After the first rise, shape the rolls but do not rise again. Instead, place rolls on a baking sheet and immediately place in the freezer. When dough is frozen solid, remove rolls from the pan and place in a plastic bag, squeeze excess air out of the bag and seal. Rolls can be frozen for 3 weeks.
