Activate the yeast by combining it with warm milk and sugar, then let it sit until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
Make a well in the flour mixture and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and the beaten egg.
Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth, allowing it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release excess gas and knead gently for a minute.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into rolls.
Arrange the rolls in a greased baking pan and cover to rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter, if desired, for shine and flavor.
