- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Yeast (active dry)
- 1 teaspoon Salt

- Activate your yeast: Combine the yeast, warm milk, and a teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

- Second rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an egg wash.
