Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes). Add sugar, salt, melted butter, egg, and flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover to rise in a warm area for about an hour.

- Roll tightly into a log shape and cut into equal pieces (12 rolls). Place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
