Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing tops)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add 2 cups of flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or a dough hook until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or knead with a stand mixer's dough hook for 6–8 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough in a large, greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a greased 9x13-inch pan, spaced slightly apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny finish.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
