Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 stand mixer with dough hook optional
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 kitchen thermometer
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper optional
  • 1 clean kitchen towel

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • In another bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
  • Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add the melted butter and eggs. Mix well until combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  • If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If kneading by hand, turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
  • Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each. Cover with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.
