Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces, shaping each into a ball.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder if desired before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight before the second rise.
- Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
