01 Step
Recipe View
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, warm water, and dry yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
02 Step
Recipe View
Add eggs, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Gradually add the flour, kneading with the dough hook attachment (or by hand) until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. (5-6 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Place the dough in a lightly buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (About 2 hours)
05 Step
Recipe View
Gently deflate the dough. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 24 equal portions. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Roll each portion into a smooth ball. (10 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
08 Step
Recipe View
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough into an oval, about 4-5 inches long. (15 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Brush the top of each oval with some of the remaining melted butter and fold in half to create a semi-circle. (5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in 6 rows of 4 rolls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size. (About 1 hour)
11 Step
Recipe View
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). (15 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top. (About 20-25 minutes)
13 Step
Recipe View
While the rolls are still warm, brush the tops generously with the remaining melted butter for a glossy finish and enhanced flavor. (2 minutes)
For an extra rich flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes.
Ensure your milk and water aren't too hot, as this can kill the yeast. They should be warm to the touch, around 110°F.
To create a warm environment for rising, place the dough in a turned-off oven with the light on, or in a warm spot in your kitchen away from drafts.

May 30, 2025I've made these rolls several times now, and they always turn out perfect. The recipe is easy to follow, and the results are restaurant-quality.

May 3, 2025My yeast didn't activate the first time, so I had to start over. Make sure your water and milk aren't too hot! But the second batch was perfect.

Apr 12, 2025The only change I made was adding a touch of honey to the dough for a slightly sweeter flavor. Delicious!
