Ingredients

for rolls:

  • 2 cups warm milk about 96-100° F
  • cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 5-6 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

for garlic butter:

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine milk and sugar until sugar is dissolved.  
  • Stir in yeast.  
  • Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • When yeast starts to bubble stir in butter and eggs.
  • Add 2 cups of flour and stir well.  
  • Add salt and continue adding flour 1 cup at a time until dough comes together and pulls away from sides of the bowl.
  • Pour onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2 minutes, adding flour about 2 tablespoons at a time as needed.  
  • Allow dough to rest 2 minutes, now is a good time to wash, dry and grease your bowl.
  • Continue kneading dough 3 minutes or until dough is no longer sticky, adding flour as needed.
  • Place dough into greased bowl and cover with a flour sack towel and set in a warm place to rise.  
  • Allow dough to double in size, about 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Punch dough down and shape into rolls.  
  • Place in greased baking pans, cover and allow to rise about 20 minutes.
  • I used 3 cake pans for mine and made 24 rolls.  
  • You can use a sheet cake pan or a couple 9 x 13 pans, whatever works for you.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
  • While rolls are baking, melt ¼ cup butter and garlic cloves in a small pan, cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove rolls from oven and brush with garlic butter.
  • Serve immediately.  
  • Store remaining rolls that have cooled in an airtight container.
