Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Grease a large bowl with a small amount of butter or oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball.

Step 7

Place the dough balls evenly spaced on a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy and almost doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with softened butter for a shiny, flavorful finish.

Step 12

Allow the dinner rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
