Combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on to the lowest speed and mix until flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup of flour and beat for another 2 minutes.

Continue to add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a ball of dough forms.

After the dough has formed a ball, place on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Lightly spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the dough in a warm place to rise for 20 to 30 minutes. (I heat the oven to 160F and then turn it off and place the dough in the oven with the door cracked about 2 inches).

Punch down the dough and then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Form each piece into a ball. Pull the dough pieces up and pinch together at the top of the roll. Now roll the dough on a flat surface to create a nice round ball. Repeat with remaining dough.

Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish.

Cover and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Bake the rolls for 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush rolls with melted butter while still hot.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
