Ingredients:
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter + a small amount extra for brushing tops of the rolls
- 2 packages dry active yeast (4½ teaspoons)
- 5 ¼ cups bread flour
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- ⅓ cup warm water
Making the Sweet Dinner Rolls:

- add milk, sugar, salt and butter in a small saucepan and heat on low until the butter is just melted and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- remove from heat, and cool to lukewarm

- add warm water to large mixing bowl or stand mixer
- add yeast to the water and blend with a fork

- when the milk mixture is lukewarm, add it to the mixing bowl with the yeast

- add flour and eggs

- attach a dough hook to your mixer and mix on low speed until dough is stretchy and pulls away from the edges of the mixing bowl

Rising the Dough:

- grease a large bowl with butter or shortening and place the dough inside, roll the dough so that dough gets covered with a coating

- cover the dough with towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for one hour or until it is doubled in size
Making the Rolls:

- sprinkle flour onto your work space and place dough over the flour
- punch down the dough

- to make rolls, flatten the dough to an inch thickness and flip the dough over.
- using a two inch circle cookie cutter ( I used a small juice glass for these) cut out all the rolls. After cutting, roll the remainder of the dough with rolling pin and cut the rest of the rolls.
*you can roll them into balls of about 3 tablespoons of dough each if you don’t want to use a cookie cutter

- place the rolls into a greased baking pan leaving about a ½ – ¾ inch of space between each rollI

- cover the pan with a towel and allow rolls to rise for another hour
Baking the Rolls:

- preheat oven to 375℉
- bake rolls for about 25 minutes or until the are all golden brown

- brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven
- let sit for 5 minutes
- then remove rolls from the pan and serve or allow them to cool complete on a wire rack before storing or freezing
