Instructions
- Put the milk (115º Fahrenheit) in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Allow the yeast to activate for 3-4 minutes. 1 cup warm milk, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- Add the butter, sugar and eggs. Use the beater blade on low speed to mix this just until combined. About 30 seconds. 1/2 cup salted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
- Add in 2 cups of flour and the salt. Mix about 30 seconds until combined. Then add in the remaining 2 cups of flour. Mix just until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes. 4 cups bread flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Remove the beater blade and place the dough hook on the stand mixer. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on low speed. Add more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed during kneading. The dough should still feel sticky and tacky to the touch, but it should not be so wet that it sticks all over your hands. As the dough turns in the stand mixer bowl, it will pull away from the sides, but may stick to the bottom slightly. This is ok and shows the dough is not too dry.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Divide and roll dough into 12 balls. Place in a greased 9x13" glass pan. Cover and rise for 15-20 minutes while the oven is heating. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- For shiny, golden brown tops: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg mixture lightly on top of the unbaked rolls. 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon water
- Bake for 18-22 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on your oven, the type of pan you use (we generally use a glass pan pan) and the size of the rolls you made. The internal temperature of the rolls should be 190ºF.
- If desired, brush melted butter over tops of the warm rolls.
