INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan combine the milk, 4 tablespoons of the butter, and the sugar,
heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it
registers between 110F. and 115F. on a candy thermometer, and in it proof
the yeast for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. Stir in the whole
egg, the salt, and 2 1/2 cups of the flour, stirring until the mixture
forms a dough. On a floured surface knead the dough, kneading in enough of
the remaining 1/2 cup flour to form a soft dough, knead in the sage, and
knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes more, or until it is smooth and
elastic. Form the dough into a ball, transfer it to a buttered bowl, and
turn it to coat it with the butter. Let the dough rise, covered with
plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 36 equal pieces. Form the pieces
into balls, dipping the balls as they are formed into the remaining 2
tablespoons butter, melted, and put 3 balls in each of 12 buttered 1/3-cup
muffin tins. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until
they are double in bulk, brush the tops with the egg wash, being careful
not to let the egg drip down the sides, and bake the rolls in the middle of
a preheated 400F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden. The
rolls may be made 1 day in advance and kept wrapped in foil at room
temperature. Reheat the rolls, wrapped in the foil, in a preheated 350F.
oven for 15 minutes, or until they are hot.
Makes 12 rolls.
