Directions
- 1To prepare the dough, mix the warm milk, yeast, and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
- 2Whisk the milk, sugar and yeast together really well to activate the yeast.
- 3Cover up the bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes.

- 5Whisk that together really well.
- 6Start adding the flour, one cup at a time, stirring after each addition.

Tips
- Use instant yeast, not active dry.
- When kneading the dough by hand, it's just turn, fold, repeat.
- Make sure to grease the bowl before the first rise, otherwise, the dough can stick.
- The best and easiest way to shape the rolls is to roll them on the countertop under your palm to shape them into little balls. This also helps make the tops nice and smooth so they’ll look prettier.
- Brush the top of each roll with melted butter for the prettiest presentation.
