Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot. Remove from heat and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Slowly add the milk and butter mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, stir until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. The dough will be sticky, and that’s okay.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch round pans with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Shape each piece into a ball and place them evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again for about 20-30 minutes, or until they double in size.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with more melted butter for added flavor and shine. Let them cool slightly before serving.
