Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups warm milk
- 4 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- 7 cups flour
- 1/4-1/2 cup butter (reserved)
Directions
-
Note: Due to its sticky nature, this recipe is best made in a standing mixer with a dough hook;
-
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
-
Add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
-
Add flour and mix well.
-
Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
-
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
-
Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to"punch down" the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
-
Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops"; The dough will be very sticky.
-
Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9×13 baking pan; don’t bother trying to smooth out the"plops"— they will smooth out as they raise.
-
Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
-
Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
-
Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
