French Dinner Rolls

These rolls like any dough takes some time to make, but when done properly, they are a great addition to any dinner!!
Ingredients:
4 Cups White Flour
2 tsp salt
1 TBLSP sugar
1/4 Cup Butter, softened
1/2 oz yeast (4.5 teaspoons)
9 oz. lukewarm milk (just over 1 cup) plus an extra tablespoon for glazing

I put a bag of wheat flour in the picture because I usually do 1/2 white flour and 1/2 wheat, but that is up to you!
Directions:
1) Sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. Rub the softened butter into the mixture until blended.

 2)  Cream the yeast with 4 tablespoons of milk.  Stir in the remaining milk.  Pour into the flour mixture and mix until it forms a soft dough.

 3)  Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or so until smooth and elastic.

4)  Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap.  Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.  It should double in size.

5)  Turn dough back out onto lightly floured surface and gently knock back.  Divide into 12 equal pieces.  Shape into balls  and space evenly onto 2 lightly greased baking sheets.    Using a sharp knife, cut a cross in the top of each roll.  Cover with lightly oiled clear wrap and leave to rise again in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes until doubled in size again.

6)  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Brush the rolls with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
