Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cup Whole milk, warmed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, warm milk, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Whisk until combined.

Step 3

Slowly add the all-purpose flour and salt, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. As the dough thickens, switch to kneading by hand or with a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 20-24 equal portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball.

Step 7

Place the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll for expansion. Cover with a towel and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter, if desired, for an extra sheen and flavor.

Step 10

Let the rolls cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
