Instructions:
-
Place milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and sugar and let cool.
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until foamy. Combine milk mixture, eggs, yeast, salt, and 1/2 of the flour in a mixer with the dough attachment and mix until smooth. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until a smooth ball forms.
-
Remove from the bowl and knead by hand on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 60 to 70 minutes.
-
On a floured surface, punch down the dough and shape into desired shapes. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover again and let rise until doubled, about 40 to 50 minutes.
-
Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown in a 350 degree preheated oven. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
Notes:
This recipe makes around 24 dinner sized rolls, or 16-18 larger rolls. We also like to top the rolls with sesame seeds, poppy seeds or coarse salt for extra flavor.
