Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing, melted)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and unsalted butter until melted. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (110°F/43°C). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy to confirm the yeast is active.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light. Slowly add the cooled milk mixture and the foamy yeast mixture, stirring until combined.

Step 4

Gradually mix in 2 cups of the flour and the salt. Stir well until smooth.

Step 5

Add the remaining 2 cups of flour, half a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 9

Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy and flavorful finish.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy Grandpa Harvey's Famous Hot Rolls with butter, jam, or your favorite meal.
