Instructions
- Warm the milk and water to 115° F. Place the warmed liquid in a large bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast; set aside for a few minutes until the mixture starts to foam.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the salt into 2 cups of flour. Stir the flour into the yeast mixture until it starts to form a ball. Stir in 2 Tbsp of the softened butter and turn dough out onto a lightly floured bread board or counter.
- Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Butter an 8-inch round baking pan.
- Knead the dough a couple of times, then divide into 12 equal portions; form each portion into a smooth ball. Place the balls loosely in the baking pan; cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 to 60 minutes, until the rolls have doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Brush the dinner rolls with 1 Tbsp of melted butter and bake for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from pan. If desired, brush dinner rolls with another 1 Tbsp melted butter. Serve Warm.
