Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon or dough scraper
  • 1 clean kitchen towel
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk Warmed to about 100°F (38°C).
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter Melted.
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it is warm to the touch, about 100°F (38°C). Do not boil the milk.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
  • Once frothy, add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well using a whisk or wooden spoon.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • After rising, punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Cover the rolls with the towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.

Notes

You can add herbs or garlic powder to the dough for added flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container; they can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
