Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Easy Big Fat Yeast Rolls:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Once mixed, add the activated yeast mixture.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and allow them to rise again for 30 minutes, until puffy.
8. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake: Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
10. Brush with Butter: Remove rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for that irresistible finish.
