1-First, heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just boils, then remove it from the heat. Stir in the sugar, melted butter, and salt, letting the mixture cool to lukewarm make sure it doesn’t go above 115 degrees Fahrenheit to keep the yeast happy. In a separate measuring cup, mix the warm water with the yeast and let it sit for a few minutes until it gets frothy. This step is crucial, much like in other easy bread recipes on the site.

2-Next, pour the yeast mixture into a mixing bowl and add the cooled milk mixture, eggs, and 2 cups of flour. Beat everything together with a paddle attachment until well combined. Gradually mix in the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour, adding a bit more if needed to make the dough slightly sticky but easy to handle. Knead the dough using a dough hook on a mixer at speed 2 for about 7 minutes, or knead by hand on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

3-After kneading, place the dough in a buttered bowl and turn it to coat all sides. Cover it and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into balls, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons for each. Arrange these balls in a greased 9×13-inch pan, setting them in five rows of four rolls each, then cover and let them rise again for another hour.

4-Final Baking Steps: About 10 minutes before the second rise ends, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown on top. Right after baking, brush the tops with melted butter and serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.
