Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 6 1/2 cups bread flour I used about 7 cups (do NOT use all-purpose flour)
  • 2 pkg. dry yeast
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup warm water . it needs to be hot like bath water but not scalding. About 90-95 degrees
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Heat milk until butter melts.
  • Add to sugar in large bowl adding beaten eggs.
  • Stir in 1 cup flour.
  • Dissolve yeast in hot water.
  • Add to above mixture.
  • Continue to add flour one cup at a time.
  • Slide onto floured board and roll and knead.
  • Rest for 20 minutes on floured board under bowl in warm place.
  • Punch and knead again before rolling in long strips and knotting.
  • Place on slightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Cover with towel and let rise 1 hour in warm place.
  • Brush with melted butter, and then bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • As soon as rolls come out of oven, brush with melted butter again.

Notes

NOTE: I just shape these into the typical round roll shapes.
NOTE: Preparation time does not include time required to raise rolls twice.
NOTE: Lukewarm water will not activate the yeast. The water needs to be about 90-95 degrees.
NOTE: If your oven is old or doesn't brown evenly, you may want to rotate the baking sheet half-way through the cooking time so both sides cook more evenly.
NOTE: Keep the dough away from drafts from A/C units or open windows or it will kill the yeast so the bread won't raise.
NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
