In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.

Once the yeast is ready, add the melted butter and salt to the mixture. Gradually incorporate the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the kneaded dough inside. Cover it with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 10 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space in between.

Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 10 minutes.

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

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Enjoy these warm rolls right away!
