Step 1
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour with yeast; stir together with a spoon until well combined.
Step 2
Add sugar and salt, mix well.
Step 3
Add hot water and stir to combine, then add the melted butter and the egg. Mix completely (until the butter and the egg are no longer visible).
Step 4
Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and mix until the flour is incorporated. Dough will be sticky. At this point, I like to add just a little bit more flour and incorporate it into the dough with my hands for about 1 minute. The dough should then be smooth and not sticky.
Step 5
You can shape the rolls however you prefer – I usually make crescent rolls because it’s fast. To do this, you just roll the dough into a large circle (1/8-1/4 inch thick). Cut the dough into triangles with a pizza cutter and then starting with the larger end of each triangle, roll the dough up.
Step 6
Place on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet, making sure that the tip of the triangle is tucked under the roll. Let the rolls rise for 10-15 minutes and then bake them at 425 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top. (Mine are always done right at 10 minutes.) I like to brush the rolls with a little bit of melted butter right when they come out of the oven – so yummy!
