The Best Yeast Rolls

 
I wanted to play house tonight and use all of my wedding gifts to cook dinner for friends tonight, so I decided on a menu of black pepper crusted pork tenderloin, asparagus risotto, and roasted veggies. To step it up just a little, I decided that I wanted to try yeast rolls for the first time as well. They turned out to be delicious, and they all disappeared immediately. :)
 


 
How to make delicious yeast rolls:
 
Ingredients:
1 cup milk (I used 2% because it's what I had)
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs (large)
1 teaspoon salt
4 cup all purpose flour
1 pkg active dry yeast

Instructions:
1. Warm the milk to between 90 and 110 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients together minus the optional water. (If you have a mixer with a bread hook you can use that or just mix by hand)
Once all the ingredients are added if the dough seems very dry add 1 tablespoon of water.
2. Once all of the ingredients are fully incorporated, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface.
Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a very lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel and place in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise until it is about double in size.
3. Butter a 9x13 glass dish, and then form dough into 24 dough balls. Place side by side in pan and let proof/rise for another 20-30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 14 to 17 minutes or until the rolls are slightly golden brown.
