Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.33 cup Warm water
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter until the butter is just melted. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the frothy yeast mixture, warm milk and butter mixture, and eggs into the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 8
Place the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 10
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter, if desired, for extra flavor and shine.
Step 12
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
