Instructions

In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water (Make sure it is the correct temperature so it does not kill the yeast.) Set aside. 1/4 cup warm water, 1 package instant yeast
In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding and the milk. 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding powder, 1 1/4 cups 2% milk
Mix in the softened butter. Add the yeast/water mixture and mix well. Set aside. 1/2 cup salted butter
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and the salt. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix until well combined. Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes by hand, until you can pull a section of the dough out 3-4" and it doesn't break. 4 1/4 cups bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 25-30 minutes or until it nearly doubles.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll the pieces into dough balls.
Place the balls in a greased 9x13 pan. Cover the pan and let the dough rise on the counter one last time for about 20 minutes, while the oven is heating to 350ºF.
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

*Use a stand mixer to mix the dough if you don't want to knead by hand. Or better yet, use a bread machine on the dough setting.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Want golden brown rolls? Whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Then use a pastry brush to brush the wash over the rolls right before baking. The rolls will look amazing!
