Fresh Sage Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup softened butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 large egg
1 cup warm milk (about 110-115 degrees)
2 tablespoons finely minced sage
Flake salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and softened butter using your hands. Gently break butter up into pieces, coating it with flour, until it resembles the size of small peas.
2. Add sugar, yeast, and salt and mix to combine.
3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add egg. Whisk egg with a fork and then begin to combine flour into egg starting from the outside of the bowl and working in towards the well.
4. Add warm milk and mix to form a shaggy, rough looking dough. Once a dough begins to form, turn out onto counter top and knead for 3-5 minutes, until a smooth dough ball forms.
5. Transfer dough into a lightly greased large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damn kitchen towel. Place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. After dough has risen, transfer to countertop and divide into 15 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place rolls in a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover and let rise a second time, another 30 minutes to an hour.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once rolls have risen and are noticeably more puffy, brush with water (or melted butter or oil, if preferred), sprinkle with sage and salt, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
8. Once rolls are golden brown and baked through, remove from oven, cool slightly on a cooling rack, and enjoy!
