Perfect Dinner Rolls

2 C milk
1/3 C butter
2 T yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 t salt
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 - 5 C flour

Combine milk and butter and heat until warm and butter melts. Add the yeast, then sugar, salt, egg, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix on low until the ingredients are wet. Add 2 more cups of flour, mixing on low speed, then for 2 minutes on medium. Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until the dough is soft, not overly sticky, and not too stiff. (You may not need to use all the flour.)
Coat a clean bowl with oil and place dough in it to rise. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until double in size.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and flip the dough once to flour both sides. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 8 inches wide and 20 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the dough with melted butter. Using a pizza cutter cut the dough in half length wise so you have two very long strips each about 4 inches wide. Cut the strips every 2 inches to make 20 pieces of dough.
Starting with the short end, roll up one piece of dough with the butter on the inside. Place the roll on a greased pan seam side down. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Be sure all the rolls face the same direction on the pan. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise until double. Bake rolls at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the tops of hot rolls with melted butter.  Makes about 20 big rolls.
