In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the softened butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Use a stand mixer with a dough hook for easier kneading.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
A warm oven (turned off) can be a great place for the dough to rise.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
Ensure the rolls are evenly spaced to allow for expansion during baking.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
This second rise ensures the rolls are light and fluffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Rotate the baking dish halfway through for even baking.
While the rolls are baking, mix the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl.
For a stronger garlic flavor, use freshly minced garlic.
Brush the hot rolls with the garlic butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
Brushing the rolls while hot allows the butter to soak in.
Serve the rolls warm and enjoy!
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
