Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh or dried sage (chopped)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Create dough: Add activated yeast to dry ingredients along with sage. Mix until combined, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Shape rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into equal pieces, shape into balls, and place in a greased baking dish close together.
  6. Bake & brush: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
