Preheat the oven to 180 °F (350 °F). Grease 2 baking trays.
Sift the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Heat the milk to blood temperature and add the melted butter. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and mix to a dough. If the dough is to stiff add a bit of water.
Knead the dough for 10 minute until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place to prove until double in size. Knock the dough back and form into 24 rolls. Place the rolls on the baking tray and leave to prove until double in size. Brush the rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
