Ingredients

For the Rolls:

2 ½ cups warm milk

4 teaspoons active dry yeast

½ cup white sugar

½ cup butter, softened

2 eggs

2 teaspoons salt

7 cups all-purpose flour (or as needed)

For Drizzling:

½ cup butter, melted

Instructions

Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, pour warm milk and sprinkle the active dry yeast over it. Let it rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Mix the dough: Beat in the sugar, softened butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually stir in the flour until a soft dough forms.

First rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it doubles in size.

Punch down and rise again: Punch down the dough, cover, and let it rise two more times, each for about 1 hour.

Form the rolls: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Break off 2-3 inch pieces of dough, shape them into round balls, and place them in the dish, edges touching. Repeat until you have 36 dough balls.

Second rise: Cover the dish with a towel and let the dough rise for an hour until doubled in size.

Preheat and bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Butter and serve: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with melted butter. Serve warm!

Notes

Garlic butter rolls: Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the melted butter for a garlic bread twist.

Herb rolls: Mix fresh rosemary or thyme into the dough before the first rise for an aromatic touch.

Cheese-filled rolls: Add a small cube of cheese in each dough ball before shaping for cheesy goodness.
