Ingredients
For the yeast mixture:
1 packet active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
For the dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup warm milk
2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
To make the yeast mixture, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This ensures that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the melted butter, warm milk, and beaten eggs to the flour mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more warm milk to achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and shape it into small balls. Place the dough balls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F while the dough is rising. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Brush the rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for a delicious and shiny finish. Serve the warm and fresh out of the oven for the best results.
