If you are going to scald the milk, do so and allow it cool to lukewarm.
Add the bread ingredients into a stand mixer and mix on medium low with a dough hook until the dough comes together into a ball and clears the sides and bottom of the bowl. This can take 5-10 minutes depending on your mixer.
Check the dough for windowpane and if it isn't there yet, continue kneading until it is.
Place in a greased bowl or dough bucket and cover with plastic wrap or a tight fitting cover. Allow to rise for about an hour or until doubled. Heat oven to 350.
Turn out onto a lightly floured counter top and gently shape into a rough rectangle. Cut the rectangle using a bench scraper or knife into 16 pieces, being careful not to deflate it too much.
Place on parchment lined baking sheets with about 1 inch of space between them. Cover with greased plastic wrap to keep from drying out and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes or so, or until the dough has its original volume.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and brush with melted salted butter right before serving. Serve warm from the oven. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave or wrapped in foil in the oven. These freeze well.
