Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm milk (110°F)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Whisk to blend evenly.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch the dough down to release air, then divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them evenly spaced on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let rise for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until they have nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are undergoing their second rise.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the softened butter for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, brush with more butter while they are still warm for extra richness.
Serve warm with additional butter or your favorite spreads. Enjoy!
