Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter has melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk mixture, and salt.
Add the eggs and 2 cups of flour into the mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is elastic and smooth.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough into it. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll and place them onto a greased baking sheet or in a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm and fresh out of the oven!
