Ingredients

Scale

3½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
• ½ cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Activate yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Mix dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs and yeast mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Knead & add butter: Knead dough (by hand or mixer) for about 10 minutes, gradually adding softened butter. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

First rise: Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1–2 hours).

Shape rolls: Punch down dough and divide into even balls. Place in a greased baking dish or pan.

Second rise: Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 45–60 minutes.

Bake: Brush with egg wash. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown on top.

Cool & enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving warm.
