Stir the warm milk, sugar and yeast together in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
Add the melted butter, salt and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm spot for 30–40 minutes, until doubled.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, shape them into balls and arrange in a greased 9-inch round or 8x8-inch baking dish.
Cover and let rise for 10–15 minutes while the oven preheats to 375°F.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden on top.
Brush with butter right away and serve warm.
