Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine warm milk, warm water, and dry yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer . Let sit for 10 minutes. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Whisk all wet ingredients together. Add all purpose flour and knead with the dough hook (or manually) until dough comes together as a ball, 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 2
Place dough into a lightly buttered bowl, cover, and let sit until the dough is doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Step 3
Press the dough until it is flat, and divide into 24 equal portions. Form each portion into a smooth ball.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
Step 5
Take each ball of dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface into an oval, 4 to 5 inches long. Brush the top with some of the remaining butter and fold in half.
Step 6
Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking sheet, arranging in 6 rows of 4 rolls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees C (175 degrees C).
Step 8
Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 25 minutes.
Step 9
While rolls are still warm, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
