Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Yeast Mixture

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy and active.
  2. Heat the milk and butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter into the milk until warm but not hot (about 110°F/43°C). Remove from heat.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Slowly add the warm milk and butter mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  4. Add yeast mixture: Once the yeast is activated and foamy, mix it into the wet ingredients.
  5. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually incorporate the flour and salt, adding about 1/2 cup at a time while stirring until the dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Add more flour if necessary.
  6. Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead.
  7. Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  8. Shape the rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange closely in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  9. Second rise: Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes until puffed up.
  10. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and hollow sounding when tapped.
  11. Optional – Brush with butter: Right after baking, brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a soft, flavorful finish.
  12. Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool slightly in the pan, then serve warm and enjoy their soft and sweet texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the water and milk temperatures are around 110°F (43°C) to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • You can store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling a little coarse sugar on top before baking.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add flour gradually but avoid making it too dense.
