These rolls are very soft and light. They make children and husbands very happy. My husband asked, "Can you make these ALL the time?"

36 rolls (change servings and units)

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

1
Note: Due to its sticky nature, this recipe is best made in a standing mixer with a dough hook; the truly persistent could probably make this by hand with a bowl and a wooden spoon-- these rolls are worth the extra effort.
2
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
3
Add sugar, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
4
Add flour and mix well.
5
Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
6
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
7
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.
8
Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops"; The dough will be very sticky.
9
Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the"plops"-- they will smooth out as they raise.
10
Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
11
Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
12
Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.

wow. I feel like the odd man out here! While the taste was very, very yummy - after 15minutes, the top were a deep brown, they had all merged together to be one big "sort of" separated roll/loaf and the inside was raw. And I only put in 3/4 of the recipe - the remainder went into another pan to cook....Maybe mine was too, too gooey?

Only one word can describe these rolls... Amazing! I wanted to find a recipe that didnt need a bread machine, and this was the one. I couldnt find my dough hook, so put the paddle attachment on and hoped for the best. By the time they were done with the last proof the pan was overflowing with rolls so I skipped the last butter step and they still turned out wonderful. I will be making again in 2 days when we have company and cant wait to show off with them during the holidays! Im still in my food coma as I type. Thank you Unknownchef86.

Mmmmm, yes, very soft and very light and buttery. I'm happy I found this recipe. I made the rolls by hand, without any additional flour, so the punching down and dividing into "glops" was a little messy. I buttered my hands in the end, and that worked fairly well. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

I have always been intimidated when it comes to making bread. This recipe has converted me into a dinner roll expert in one batch! I halved the recipe for a dinner party of four. They were light and had a delicious buttery flavor. I had extra time and allowed these to rise 3 times (for 1 hour each) prior to making the "plopps" and letting them rise for the final 40 minutes. I made 18 rolls using one 9x13 pottery baking dish.We used leftovers for breakfast with jam and mini turkey sandwiches for dinner. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I will definately make these again! Marianne
