Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 packets active dry yeast
- 2 cups milk scalded and cooled to between 105 and 110 degrees F
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place milk in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave for 4 minutes. Place in refrigerator and allow to cool to between 105 - 110 degrees F.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the 6 cups of flour and salt.
- Remove the milk from the refrigerator and whisk in the yeast and sugar. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Beat the 2 eggs into the melted butter. Add the yeast, sugar and milk mixture to the flour and salt and knead on low speed until dough begins to come together. Stop mixer and add the eggs and melted butter. Knead the dough, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary, for 6 minutes.
- Remove the dough hook and bowl from the stand mixer. Cover the dough ball in the bowl loosely with a towel.
- Place the dough bowl in a warm spot and allow to rise for about 60 minutes or until dough is doubled in size.
- Gently push down on the dough to deflate. Place on clean counter and evenly divide dough into 8 log-shaped pieces, using a bench scraper or sharp knife.
- Cut each of the eight dough logs into four equal pieces, giving you 32 rolls. Gently cup each roll in your hand to "plump" them up a bit in the center.
- Place the rolls in well-greased baking dishes, spaced about 1/2-inch apart. Place dishes in a warm spot and cover loosely with a towel. Allow rolls to rise in baking dishes for 60 minutes more.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 14 - 18 minutes. Watch closely in the last few minutes to make sure tops don't over brown.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter when they come out of the oven. Serve warm.
