Ingredients:
5 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 1/4 Cups Milk
5 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 Package Active Dry Yeast (1/4 oz)
Oil as needed
Process:
In a heated sauce pan, warm the milk, melt 3 Tbsp butter and sugar into it by stirring continuously. Cool and when its lukewarm.. add the yeast to it. and set aside for 10 minutes until its foamy. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Add the buttery milk yeast mixture to the flour and mix until a soft dough is formed. Its very sticky. Transfer this onto a very very well-floured working surface and knead until a soft elastic dough id formed. Grease another large bowl and transfer this into it, cover and let it rice. A warm place would work better. Let it sit for about 2 hours until it doubles in size. Knead the dough lightly and punch it a little to let all the carbondioxide escape. Divide into equal size balls and set them on your greased baking dish.With about 1-2inch gap between them. Optional: Brush the rolls with the remaining butter at this point. (I skipped this step and you'll see from the picture the top looks a little dry. But, I decided we dont need the extra butter and would always do it that way. It was very yummy..) Cover and again let it rise for about 2 hrs until they have risen back into shape about 2 inches high.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the rolls until golgen brown, about 22-27 minutes.. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool a little. Transfer to cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving.

Serve with some butter/fruit spread or with dipping oil. These very delicious dinner rolls.. are sure to please your family.. Enjoy !
