Ingredients:
- 1 cup water (110 degrees F)
- 2 packages yeast (do not use quick rising for this recipe)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 1/4 cups flour
Directions:
- Prepare the yeast mixture: In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it stand for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Mix the ingredients: With a wooden spoon, stir in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt into the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing well until the dough comes together and is too stiff to stir.
- Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days if you want to prepare ahead of time.
- Shape the rolls: Once chilled, grease a 13×9 baking pan. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball and place them in rows in the prepared pan.
- Let the dough rise: Cover the pan and let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
- Bake the rolls: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Once the rolls have risen, bake them for about 17 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.
