If you find yourself in need of a soft roll full of sweet, warm, buttery goodness, then look no further. Light and fluffy, these make an excellent pairing with any meal, but especially soups.
2 cups milk, warmed
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus a little more for the tops
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
1. In a large bowl, combine the milk and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the yeast, and let sit for a minute. Add the melted butter and salt, then gradually work in the flour until you have a nice light dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for several minutes, until the dough bounces back when poked.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter an 8 x12 inch- baking pan. Divide the dough in half, then each half into ten balls of dough, pulling the dough around until each ball is smooth and even. Place the rolls in the buttered pan, evenly spaced and just barely touching. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
3. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are a nice golden brown. Brush with salted butter and serve warm.
