Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Shape each portion into a ball and place in a greased baking dish.

Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter before serving.
