Get a sauce pot and add 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of milk.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mixture and stir well.

Place the pot on medium-low heat and warm it up to 110°F.

Once the temperature reaches 110°F, add 1 tablespoon of dried yeast and whisk it in.

Let the yeast mixture proof for about 5 minutes in a warm spot.

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt, adding the flour gradually to the yeast mixture while stirring.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it feels pliable and spongy, ensuring it doesn't stick to your hands.

Grease a bowl with butter spray, place the dough in it, and cover with a warm wet dishcloth or paper towel.

Let the dough rise for 15 minutes until it has doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball.

Preheat the oven to 400°F if baking indoors, or pre-warm a Dutch oven if baking outdoors.

Place the rolls in the baking dish or Dutch oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

Check the rolls for a golden brown color and use a thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 200-210°F.

Serve the rolls hot with a rub of melted butter.
