Ingredients

2.5 cups warm milk
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
0.5 cup sugar
0.5 cup butter, softened
2 eggs eggs
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
0.5 cup butter, melted

Instructions

In a large bowl, add milk and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Beat in sugar, ½ cup of softened butter, eggs, and salt until well blended. Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl and place in a warm area to rise until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.
Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and let it rise again. Repeat this process two more times.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Break off pieces of dough, about 2- to 3-inches in size, and gently roll them into round shapes. Place them in the prepared baking dish with edges touching. Repeat until you have 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle ½ cup of melted butter over the tops and serve warm.
