Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Add remaining soft butter, sugar, salt, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined, knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Gently deflate dough, divide into 6 pieces, shape into ovals, brush tops with butter and vanilla mixture, and place in greased muffin tins.
  5. Let shaped rolls rise for 20-30 minutes until puffy, then preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  6. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
