Steps:
- Lightly butter a medium bowl; set aside. In a small measuring cup combine the warm water and yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl. Add milk, sugar, butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir until smooth. Add just enough (at least 1 1/2 cups) of the remaining flour to make a dough that is easy to handle.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
- Line two baking sheets with Silpats baking mats; set aside. Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into two pieces, cover one piece with plastic wrap. Roll out remaining piece into a rectangle, about 14 inches long and 6 inches wide. Cut crosswise into 10 rectangles a little less than 1 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches long.
- Working with one rectangle at a time, make 2 lengthwise cuts, starting about 1/2 inch from one end, dividing the rectangle into three narrow strips. Braid the three strips together, pinching both ends to seal. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining dough. Brush braids with melted butter. Cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

[email protected]I loved the flavor and texture of these rolls, but I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try reducing the amount of sugar in the filling. I also think they would be great with a savory filling, like cheese or ham and cheese

[email protected]I've made these rolls several times now and they are always a hit! The braiding technique makes them look so impressive, and the dough is soft and fluffy. I usually fill them with a mixture of butter, cinnamon, and sugar, but I've also tried them wit
