Start by proofing your yeast. Mix 1 tbsp instant yeast with ¼ cup lukewarm water

In a saucepan mix 2 tablespoons of flour 2 tablespoons of water and four and a half tablespoons of milk. Cook this on low until the mixture forms a super sticky paste. this should only take a couple minutes.

To make the dough, in a stand mixer (or by hand) mix together 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 large egg , the paste and the yeast mixture that's been proofing on the side.
Mix on low until the dough starts to form. Slowly add in three tablespoons of softened butter. Continue to blend on medium high until you create a dough ball. Cover your dough with plastic rap and set aside for one hour until your dough has doubled in size.
Punch out the excess air and then separate the dough into even pieces that you will eventually roll into a bunch of balls.
TIP: Dough shouldn't be sticky so if it is just add a little bit more flower.
* you can roll large balls for burger buns or smaller balls for dinner rolls*
Add the dough balls into a cake pan or something similar.
Once they're in the pan cover them one more time for 45minutes until they double in size. Now beat one egg and cover the rolls in an egg wash.
Cook at 350° for 20 minutes or until the tops look nice and brown.
Optional: Melt 2 tbsp butter add to it chopped up parsley, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper then drizzle the mixture on top of the bread after you take them out of the oven
