Ingredients
4,5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
0,5 cup milk
0,5 cup water
1 package active dry yeast
2 eggs
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoons salt
0,5 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
Instructions
1.Activate the Yeast:
Warm 0.5 cup of milk and 0.5 cup of water until lukewarm (not hot).
In a small bowl, combine the milk, water, 1 package of active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2.Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk 4.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 remaining tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add 2 beaten eggs, 0.25 cup of melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
3.Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
4.First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
5.Shape the Rolls:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16–20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly. Fold each piece in half and press the edges lightly to seal.
6.Second Rise:
Arrange the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffed.
7.Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with some of the remaining melted butter. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8.Finish and Serve:
Brush the hot rolls with the rest of the melted butter for a shiny, buttery finish.
