Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it reaches about 110°F (warm but not hot to the touch). Remove from heat and pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.

Step 2

Add sugar and yeast to the warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

In another small bowl, melt the butter. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, eggs, and salt to the milk and yeast mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, while mixing at medium speed. Continue kneading with the dough hook for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough into the greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides in oil.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 16 equal pieces.

Step 9

Shape each piece into a smooth ball by tucking the edges underneath until smooth.

Step 10

Place the dough balls into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly spaced.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the dinner rolls for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter, if desired, before serving warm.
