Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk about 105-115 degrees F
  • 2.25 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for about 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
  • Stir in the melted butter and eggs until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
