MAKE DOUGH:
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top.

- Add the mixture to a large mixing bowl, and add 4 Tablespoons butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour.

- Cut dough into 24 even pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
SECOND RISE:
- Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking sheets.
- Cover the rolls with dish towels and let them rise until almost doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.

Bea Bowman says
Can you make the dough ahead of time and freeze unbaked rolls
Jess Jankowski says
Hi Bea, we have not tested that with this recipe. We have only tested freezing them after baking the rolls. We are not confident that the rolls will rise properly after defrosting them.
