• Work done, cover, let rise again until about double, put into rolls and let rise again for another hour.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• 1. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix the dough up. The recipe starts by putting yeast in a bowl and adding warm water to it to soften. I like to proof my yeast before adding it to the other ingredients. The recipe has 1/4 cup of sugar, I took 2 teaspoons out of the 1/4 cup and added it to the yeast and warm water. Yeast loves sugar, it proofed perfectly. While the yeast is softening or proofing, heat your milk to scalding. What is scalding? The milk will be hot, but not boiling. Combine the sugar, butter and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour the scalding milk over all, stir to melt the butter. Cool to lukewarm. Your next step is to stir in the eggs and yeast so please make sure that you have let the mixture cool down enough so you don't have scrambled egg in you're dough. After the eggs and yeast are added it's time to incorporate the 4 1/2 cups of flour. I did use the whole 4 1/2 cups of flour, which gave me a very nice supple dough.
• 2. After using the Kitchen Aid to mix the dough I always knead by hand, you can use the dough hook if you want to. I like kneading by hand, I get a better feel of the consistency of the dough that way. I floured my board and started kneading. As I kneaded I kept flouring the board until I had a tacky dough, not sticky , just tacky. I love this consistency with all the bread dough I make.
• 3. You may be asking how do you know your dough is tacky? Tacky is when you lift your dough from the board and it holds onto it ever so slightly , just for a second as you lift it up.
• 4. It's time to oil your bowl, shape the dough into a ball ,put the bread dough in the bowl and turn it completely around to coat the dough all around. Cover with a towel and put this is a draft free location in your kitchen. I have a gas stove , the oven is always slightly warm, a great place for the dough to rise. Let's talk about the rise, this recipe has 3 rise times. Each will be about an hour. On the first rise, after your dough has risen up, punch it down, shape it back into a ball , put it back in the bowl and let it rise again.
• 5. After the second rise, cut and shape the dough into balls, I just eye ball this but you could use a scale if you wanted to make them all the exact size. Oil a jelly roll pan and place the balls on the pan without touching so they have room to rise. Cover with a towel and let them rise for the third time. They will rise up so they will be touching each other, preheat your oven and bake. I brushed the rolls with melted butter straight out of the oven. These are DELICIOUS , light and fluffy! I think that letting them rise 3 times has alot to do with how light and fluffy they are. You can make these and only do 2 rises, but I just had to see what they would be like with 3. We absolutely LOVE THEM!! Enjoy!

• 7. This recipe makes beautiful rolls!

Steps:

• Whisk yeast, 1/2 cup warm water and 1/4 cup sugar. Allow to stand until yeast is dissolved.
• In the meantime, add eggs, butter and 2 cup warm water in bowl and mix. Add dissolved yeast mixture and then add the remaining dry ingredients. Stir until well mixed. Cover and allow to rise 1 hour.
• Turn onto floured board; knead once or twice to make dough easy to handle. Roll into desired shapes (I divide the dough in half and roll into a circle, melt some butter and put on top, then cut it like a pizza and roll crescent rolls). Place on greased pan. Allow to rise 20-30 minutes. Bake 10 minutes at 375 or until done.

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast onto warm water. Stir gently and let sit until foamy and frothy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the yeast is proofing, place butter in a saucepan with milk and white sugar. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl; let cool until just very warm to the touch and about 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add 3 cups flour, kosher salt, yeast mixture, and egg; mix gently with a spatula until it all comes together and forms a very thick and wet batter. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix with your fingers, incorporating just the amount of flour you need, until dough comes together into a soft, sticky ball.
• Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Grease the bowl with butter. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
• Transfer dough back to a work surface and press it into a 1-inch thick circle. Flip over and continue pressing until circle is 1/2-inch thick; use a rolling pin if needed to achieve correct thickness. Use a pizza tool to cut dough into 12 equal wedges.
• Starting at the larger end of one wedge, roll toward the point, stretching the ends of the dough out for the first few inches. Pinch and press the point into the dough to seal and place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Let rolls sit until they puff up a little, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cooked through and just starting to turn a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and immediately brush hot rolls with melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
