- Stir in flour and salt. Add beaten egg and melted butter. Mix well to form a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place to ensure proper fermentation.
- Brush the rolls with additional melted butter after baking for a richer flavor and shiny crust.
