In a bowl, combine room temperature water and milk.

Add granulated sugar to the mixture and stir until dissolved.

Sprinkle dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

Add softened butter and shortening to the flour and mix with hands until well combined.

Add remaining granulated sugar to the mixture and mix well.

Pour in the bloomed yeast mixture and mix until combined.

Add water gradually until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into balls, smoothing each ball with hands.

Place the dough balls bottom side down on a well-buttered baking tray.

Cover the tray with a damp paper towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Brush the rolls with butter immediately after removing from the oven and let cool in the pan.
