Instructions
-
In a stand‑mixer's bowl, combine the warm milk, instant dry yeast, sugar, salt, softened butter, and eggs.
-
Add 5½ cups of flour and mix on low speed until incorporated, then increase to medium speed and gradually add the remaining ½ cup flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl sides and feels slightly sticky.
-
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 90 minutes.
-
Punch down the risen dough, shape it into 24 equal rolls, and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet in six rows of four. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Bake the rolls for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned.
-
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Serve warm, or let cool on the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store cooled rolls in a plastic bag.
