Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of warm water
  • 4 tsp of active dry yeast
  • 5 TBS of granulated sugar divided for different steps
  • 3 TBS of unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 7.5 cups of all-purpose flour adjust by adding or reducing up to 1/2 cup as required
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 2 TBS of unsalted butter melted, to apply post baking

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Frequently stir until it reaches a simmer, ensuring small bubbles appear around the edges. Once achieved, transfer the milk to another container to allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the water, yeast, and 1 TBS of sugar. Mix them and let the mixture stand for 5 to 10 minutes until it exhibits a foamy appearance.
  • To the activated yeast mixture, add the remaining sugar, honey, cooled milk, and 2 cups of the flour. Blend the mixture thoroughly for several minutes.
  • Incorporate the melted butter, eggs, and salt into the mixture and ensure even distribution.
  • Gradually introduce the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the dough starts to detach from the bowl's sides. If the dough remains sticky, add flour in 1 TBS increments until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Allow the dough to rest momentarily.
  • Proceed to knead the dough, either utilizing the stand mixer's dough hook or manually on a counter, for a duration of 5 minutes. If the dough exhibits a sticky texture during kneading, introduce additional flour in small amounts.
  • Place the dough in a bowl that has been greased with oil or a non-stick agent. Ensure all sides of the dough are lightly coated with the greasing agent. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Position the bowl in a warm location and let the dough rise. This process may take up to 45 minutes or until the dough has doubled in volume.
  • Once risen, deflate the dough to release any trapped air.
  • On a flat surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
  • Utilizing a pizza cutter, segment the dough into 2-inch squares.
  • Arrange the squares on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a similar non-stick surface. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap.
  • Allow the rolls to undergo a secondary rise until they have again doubled in volume. This may take approximately 1 hour.
  • As the final stages of rising approach, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they achieve a light golden-brown hue, which typically occurs between 14-18 minutes. If baking multiple trays simultaneously, consider rotating them during the process to ensure even baking.
  • Upon removing from the oven, promptly brush the top surfaces of the rolls with the melted butter.

Notes

Note: For optimal results, it is advisable to ensure the milk is sufficiently cooled in step 1 to preserve the yeast's efficacy. Ideally, it should be below 138 F, though a temperature around 110 F is most favorable.
