Equipment
Mixing bowl
Stand mixer
Bench scraper
9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
1
cup
whole milk
½
cup
water
2
tablespoons
unsalted butter
¼
cup
sugar
¼
ounce
package active dry yeast
1 ¼
teaspoon
salt
4 ½ to 5
cups
all-purpose flour
divided
2
large eggs
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine milk, water and butter and heat to 120 degrees F.
Whisk together the sugar, yeast, salt and 2 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl.
Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on Medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs and mix on High for 2 minutes.
Gradually add in the flour 1 cup at a time, until the mixture forms a soft ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, adding additional flour if needed, until the dough becomes elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until it has doubled in size (60-90 minutes).
Spray 2 baking dishes (13x9 size) with nonstick cooking spray.
Punch down the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and form into 24 rolls.
Place dough balls into the baking dishes, 12 in each dish.
Cover baking dishes, place in a warm spot and let the dough rise until it’s doubled in size (approximately 60-90 minutes).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned.
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter if desired.
Notes
Make sure your yeast is fresh. If it’s expired the rolls won’t rise.
Use a stand mixer if you have one but these can also be made by hand.
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for 2-3 days on the counter.
