Sweet and Buttery Yeast Rolls

• From: Eclectic Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/3 cup butter

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)

• 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 package)

Make these before your next dinner party and then pop them in the oven to warm.

Directions

• In a small saucepan combine milk, sugar, butter, and salt. Heat just until warm, at about 120°F to 130°F.
• In your stand mixer add 2 cups flour and yeast. Add warm milk mixture and eggs. Beat on low speed until combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add your dough hook to the mixer and beat in as much of the flour as you can, I used 4 1/2 cups total flour. Knead on medium for 8–10 minutes or until the dough is stiff, smooth, and elastic.
• Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will take about one hour. Then punch the dough down, divide it in half, and let it rise another 10 minutes.
• Shape the dough into 24 balls "or any other shape you want." Place on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise until they double again, another 30 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
