Combine 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 packet of active dry yeast in a mixing bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Gently punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
