#### **Instructions:**
1. **Activate the Yeast:**
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
2. **Make the Dough:**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to form, then transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. **Let It Rise:**
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
4. **Shape the Rolls:**
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each one into a ball. Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure they are touching each other.
5. **Second Rise:**
Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, allowing them to puff up again.
6. **Bake the Rolls:**
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Brush the freshly baked rolls with melted butter for that perfect golden shine.
7. **Serve:**
Serve warm with your favorite dishes, and watch these soft, buttery rolls disappear in no time!
