Ingredients You'll Need
Dough:
4 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 packet of active dry yeast
1 cup of warm milk
1/4 cup of melted butter
2 eggs
Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 tablespoon of water
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, mix together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Then, add in the melted butter, eggs, and activated yeast mixture. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Let it Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 6: Let it Rise Again
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 7: Brush with Egg Wash
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush it over the rolls.
Step 8: Bake
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving them to your guests. These homemade Thanksgiving rolls are best enjoyed warm and with a generous slather of butter on top.
