A delicious, soft, and sweet dinner roll that will make the perfect addition to any feast! (credit to Bobby Flay; I couldn’t in good conscience give away the family recipe.)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 3 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 6 cups flour

 

1. In a small saucepan, bring milk to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Remove milk from heat, add sugar and butter.
3. In a separate container like a wide glass or bowl, add warm water. Then add yeast and let bloom until it produces foam.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, salt and half of the flour.
5. Mix until smooth dough forms.
6. Add remaining flour a bit at a time until fully incorporated.
7. Spray inside a separate bowl with cooking spray and transfer dough into the bowl. Cover and let rise for about an hour, until doubled in size. 
8. On a clean, lightly floured surface, knead dough and then form small balls. Place on a lined baking sheet and let rise until doubled again.
9. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
10. Brush with melted butter.
11. Enjoy!
