Measure out some very warm water. The water should be between 110°F-115°F. (Not so hot you can’t touch it.)

Add water to the bowl of an electric mixer.

Get a bit of sugar.

Add sugar in to water.

Add yeast into water and sugar.

Measure out water.

Add butter to milk.

Allow butter to melt in.

Once it has, mix.

Add in milk mixture.

Mix.

Let it sit for a few minutes.

Measure out the flour.

Add the salt in after you add in your flour… salt kills yeast, so you don’t want to add this ingredient in out of order.

Add your salt in with your flour… remember don’t do this our of order.

Add flour into your mixing bowl… mix in 2 1/2 cups of flour to your wet ingredients… let sit for 10 minutes and then continue.

Start mixer going on low… if you have a mixer with numbers, use number 2.

Keep it going.

Your dough should eventually turn into a ball.

Let it go for a bit to become a smooth ball.

Then let it rest in the mixing bowl.

Cover with plastic wrap to keep the warmth in and place it somewhere free of breeze.

Once your dough has risen, you will need to turn it out onto a board. I love these Pampered chef Cutting Mats because the mess stays on the mat and then it can go right into the dishwasher.

Turn the dough out onto the floured mat and sprinkle with a bit more flour.

Roll dough into a bit of a clumsy roll… this does not have to be perfect as long as it’s relatively even.

Cut the roll in have. We are going to work with one half at a time.

Now you can be a little more careful with your rolling. You want to make sure it is as even as you can get it.

Cut each of your two new rolls into 6 pieces, this will give you 12 rolls total.

Now prepare your baking dish. I like to butter my dish using the paper towel method. I just slap some butter on a clean paper towel so im not getting all greasy and I don’t totally mess up my stick of butter.

Spread butter thoroughly over a 9″x13″ baking dish.

Now roll each of your dough pieces into rolls for baking. I kind of fold the sides under to achieve a nice smooth roll.

Then just start lining them up in your dish.

They will all be separate to start off.

Now cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise somewhere warm for about 30 minutes or so… I like to start the oven pre heating at this point and place the rolls right near the stove top or near the oven.

After about 30 minutes, the rolls will be nice and plump.

Pop rolls in the oven and bake.

When the rolls come out of the oven, then look yummy, but we aren’t done yet!

Now we butter the top of each roll while they are piping hot!

And this is the deliciousness you will serve on your dinner table!
