Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
1 cup whole milk (warm)
2 tbsp brown sugar
6 sage leaves (finely chopped)
½ cup unsalted butter (browned)
1 tsp salt
1 large egg

Instructions

Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns rich brown and smells nutty. Set aside to cool.
Warm the milk to lukewarm (about 100°F). In a bowl, combine warm milk, brown sugar, and instant yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add half of this mixture to the yeast mixture.
Stir in browned butter (reserve a tablespoon), egg, and chopped sage. Gradually add remaining flour until you form a soft dough.
Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about an hour).
Punch down the dough, divide into twelve portions, shape into rolls, and place in a greased baking dish.
Let rise again until doubled (30 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush with reserved butter before serving.
