The Most Unbelievable Dinner Rolls

Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

• 3 cups warm milk
• 5 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 7 cups flour
• 1/4-1/2 cup butter (reserved)

Recipe

• 1 sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5-10 minutes to proof.
• 2 add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
• 3 add flour and mix well.
• 4 cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or until doubled.
• 5 remove the towel and plastic wrap and punch down the dough; if you like, you can let the dough raise a second time. it seem to make them a little lighter.
• 6 remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36 balls. the dough will be very sticky so you may want to flour your hands.
• 7 place balls, edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother smoothing out the balls -- they will smooth out as they raise. i spray the bottom of my plastic wrap with pam to help prevent sticking.
• 8 cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
• 9 melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
• 10 bake at 400°f for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
