Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 mixing spoon or dough hook
  • 1 plastic wrap or clean kitchen towel
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • In the same bowl, add melted butter and eggs. Mix well until combined.
  • Gradually add flour and salt, stirring with a spoon or using a dough hook until a soft dough begins to form.
  • If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl but remains soft.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
  • Place the shaped rolls onto a greased baking sheet and cover with a towel. Let them rise again for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Optional: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before serving for extra flavor.

Notes

You can brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before serving for extra flavor.
These rolls freeze well; simply place them in a plastic bag once cooled.
