1. **Activate the Yeast:**
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
3. **Incorporate Butter:**
Add the softened butter gradually, mixing until it is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic. You might need to knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes.
4. **First Rise:**
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
6. **Second Rise:**
Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 1-2 hours until they double in size.
7. **Baking:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, brush them with the egg wash for a shiny finish. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
**Tips:**
– Ensure the milk is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
– Don’t rush the rising process. Letting the dough rise adequately ensures a light and airy texture.
– Experiment with different shapes and sizes to customize your rolls.
