Remove the dough from the bowl and roll it into a large ball.

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, add a little butter, cover it, and place it in a warm spot until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has doubled in size, get it out of the bowl and fold it to get rid of air.

Cut the dough into four pieces.

Work with one piece of dough at a time, keeping the other pieces covered.

Shape the dough into a small ball.

Use a scale to ensure the dinner rolls are even.

Repeat the shaping process with the rest of the dough.

Keep the shaped dinner rolls covered, place them in a warm spot, and allow them to double in size.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Make the egg wash by mixing one egg with one tablespoon of water.

Brush the dinner rolls with the egg wash.

Bake the dinner rolls for 25 minutes.

Remove the dinner rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter.

Allow the dinner rolls to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
