How to Make Rolls with Creamy Drizzle

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk with the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. This step ensures that your yeast is active and will help your rolls rise.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Add in the melted butter and egg, mixing with a wooden spoon or stand mixer until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. If you’re using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6. Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12-15 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish.
7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes, until puffy.
8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with a bit of melted butter for a golden crust, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Prepare the Creamy Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more cream if you want a thinner consistency.
10. Drizzle and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the creamy topping over them. Serve warm and enjoy!
