Mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together in a large bowl.
In a separate heat proof bowl, stir the milk, water, and butter together. Microwave or heat over the stove until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to touch (approx 110°F).
Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the flour mixture. Add the egg. Mix until it forms a soft dough.

Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Bake the rolls in the oven for 25-28 minutes until they are light brown on top and cooked through.
