3.5 – 4 cups flour (start with 3.5, add more if needed)
1.5 cups warm water
7g (2 1/4tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
More butter for glazing
Mix the water, sugar, and yeast together, cover, and let stand for 10 mins until foamy.
Once foamy add in the flour, salt and melted butter. Mix until it forms a shaggy dough, then knead for 8-10 mins (do it in a stand mixer with a dough hook if you prefer)
Put in to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60-90 mins or doubled in size. Punch down and then give another quick knead. Separate into balls (mine are 85g each) and put on to a baking tray. Cover and rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 180.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes – until there’s a hollow sound when you tap the top. Glaze with butter as soon as they come out of the oven (I do this with a pastry brush)

These look really great!
Baking bread has not only saved us a lot of money, I am actually enjoying it as a hobby!
Yours look much better too!
These look tasty, and they are more aesthetically pleasing then the seven dollar rolls.
Looks lovely!
If you like baked sweets you should try out Norwegian sweet buns. Fairy straight forward dough, similar to a cinnamon bun dough but with cardamom. There are endless varieties, but the classic is with a custard center and dipped in coconut, cinnamon and sugar, chocolate or raisins.
