Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and warmed milk. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.

Step 7

Cover the rolls with a towel and allow them to rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

Brush the freshly baked rolls with softened butter while they are still warm to give them a delectable shine and extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the comforting taste of Mom's hot rolls. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
