In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it is just warm to the touch (do not boil). Add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, warm milk and butter mixture, and salt. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in the prepared baking dish, leaving a small amount of space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 10 minutes.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
