Classic Dinner Rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   **Activate Yeast**: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (around 110°F) with the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

   **Mix Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then add the melted butter, the yeast mixture, and the beaten eggs.

3. 3

   **Knead the Dough**: Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

4. 4

   **First Rise**: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   **Shape Rolls**: Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball by tucking the edges underneath.

6. 6

   **Second Rise**: Place the balls close together in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they've puffed up.

7. 7

   **Preheat Oven**: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

8. 8

   **Bake**: Once the rolls have risen, brush them with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

9. 9

   **Finishing Touch**: Remove from the oven and brush with extra melted butter for that luxurious finish. Let them cool slightly before serving.
