Steps:

• In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.
• Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Lightly oil the muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. Fill muffin pan, cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it's done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn't rip, it's ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
• Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
• Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
• Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
