Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature
PREPARATION:
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture, gently stirring. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center to pour in the yeast mixture.
Form the Dough: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the well in the flour. Add melted butter and beaten eggs. Begin mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake to Perfection: Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
