Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Kitchen towel
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups of flour and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  7. Punch down the risen dough to release air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls.
  8. Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel again and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush the tops with melted butter before serving for added flavor.
