Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attached, combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until yeast is bubbly (about 8 minutes).

Add 1 cup flour, the beaten egg, melted butter, salt, rosemary, garlic powder, and thyme. Mix on low until combined. Add flour a little bit at a time until the dough is soft and not sticky. Knead in the mixer for 5 minutes (see notes for making without a mixer).

Divide dough into 9 even pieces, and form into balls. Place in a greased 9-inch pie plate and cover with parchment paper and a kitchen towel. Let rise for 70 to 90 minutes or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

If using an egg wash, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush over the rolls. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.

Bake on the center rack for 15 to 20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top.
