Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine milk and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Stir together flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add softened butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture and mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Step 4
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Grease a cookie sheet or 9x13-inch pan with remaining oil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 7
For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side.
Step 8
Cover and let dough rise again until almost doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.
