Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the very warm water (about 120 degrees F), sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. If you're using table salt, remember to reduce the amount as noted in the ingredient checklist.
• Once the yeast is activated, pour in the melted butter and gradually add the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon or dough whisk, mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
• Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
• Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Divide it into 12-16 equal pieces, shape each piece into a ball, and place them onto a greased baking sheet.
• Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have puffed up nicely.
• While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter for an extra touch of flavor. Serve warm.
