Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 plastic wrap or kitchen towel
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 package (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup warm milk 110°F or 43°C
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, plus extra for brushing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup warm water 110°F or 43°C

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
  • Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with melted butter and eggs. Stir to combine.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, 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 plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down, and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a roll and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
  • Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These rolls can be served warm with butter or used to make delicious sandwiches.
For an added flavor, feel free to mix in herbs or garlic powder to the dough before kneading.
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature, or freeze for up to a month.
