Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F or 45°C)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12-16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or muffin tin.
- Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
