Dinner Rolls

This year I am proud to say that I have mastered homemade rolls! I love my mom's recipe, but I can't seem to ever make them perfectly! I got this recipe from Sophia, and after a few tries have finally figured them out! They are buttery and perfect! Thanks Sophia! I stole the recipe from your blog ;).

Place in mixing bowl:
3 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 cup warm, but not hot, water
1/2 cup sugar, sprinkled evenly around the yeast and water.
Let this sit for 20 minute until the yeast has risen.

While the yeast is rising, heat up 2 cups of milk in the microwave for 2 minutes. As soon as you take it out add 1 stick of butter and let it melt inside the milk.

After your 20 minutes rising time,

Add to the mixing bowl:

2 eggs
2 Tbsp. salt
4 cups of flour

Pour the now warm milk over the flour, eggs, yeast mixture. Mix, adding more flour and kneading until the dough is light and moist. I add flour until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl as it is mixed. I usually add about 7 cups of flour total, but it just depends on the day. Just add the flour till the dough isn't sitcking to the sides too much. I let it knead in my mixer for about 10 minutes, then let it sit for 30 in buttered bowl. (If you are in a hurry, you can rush the first rising by placing the dough into a well greased bowl and covering it with a damp cloth completely. Place it in the microwave on the lowest setting for ten minutes.) Then, form the rolls into balls or ropes or three little mini-balls placed together in well-buttered muffin tins. Make sure that the pan is lathered in butter. Let raise for 30 more minutes. Bake at 400° until the rolls are golden brown. (about 17 minutes.)
