Ingredients
1 1/4 cups warm milk
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened or melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 2: First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a roll and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a small gap between each roll.
Step 4: Second Rise
Cover the rolls loosely with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until they double in size.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the rolls with an egg wash (whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter for an extra glossy finish.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.

These Fluffy Homemade Dinner Rolls are a simple yet elegant addition to your dinner table.
Soft, golden, and irresistible, they pair beautifully with soups, salads, or as a side to your main dish.
