Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Activate yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk with sugar and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Combine dough: In a large mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center; add yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Shape rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into 12-15 pieces, shape into balls, and place in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise & bake: Cover rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes while preheating oven to 375°F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown; brush with melted butter afterward.
