Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to bubble around the edges but does not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar, salt, eggs, and the milk-butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir, transfer it to a floured surface or use a dough hook attachment with a stand mixer.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticking, lightly sprinkle additional flour, but avoid over-flouring.
Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides, and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Turn it onto a floured surface and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving a little space between them for expansion.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they double in size again.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny, soft finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
