Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups Warm Milk Should be warm to the touch, not boiling.
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted Adds richness to the rolls.
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast Should be fresh for best results.
- 4 to 5 cups All-purpose flour Use enough to achieve a soft dough.
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preparation and Mixing
- Warm the milk and mix it with sugar and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.
- Gradually mix in flour, starting with 4 cups, until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.
Kneading and Rising
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
Shaping and Baking
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- Place the dough balls in a greased baking dish with some space in between.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the dough for an extra flavor boost. For serving, consider herbed butter or honey.
