Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk warmed to about 110°F
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs room temperature

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a roll.
  • Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped parsley before baking.
