  • Total Time: 2 hours (including rising and baking)
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of warm milk
  • ¼ cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons of dry active yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Optional toppings: honey, cinnamon sugar, or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and shape into balls or ovals.
  6. Place shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and add optional toppings like cinnamon sugar or honey.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with honey or serve with preserves as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh for optimal rising.
  • Avoid over-flouring to keep the rolls tender.
  • Customize flavors with fillings like cinnamon sugar, cheese, or dried fruits before baking.
