Dinner Rolls

1 1/4 c whole milk, warmed to about 110 degrees
12 T unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 1/4 c unbleached all-purpose flour
2 T sugar
1 envelope yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt

Always very popular, easy and almost foolproof.

Whisk milk, butter, yolks and egg together in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk 4 c of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt together. Add milk mixture and stir witha rubber spatula until the dough comes together and looks shaggy. Turn the dought out onto a clean counter and knead by hand to form a smooth, round ball, 10-15 mins, adding additional 1/4 c flour as needed to prevent it from sticking. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, abt 1 hr.
Divide dough into 24 even pieces and cover with plastic wrap. round each piece into a small roll and place on rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, abt 1/2 inch apart. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, abt 1 hr. Brush with melted butter and bake in 375 oven until golden, 15-25 mins. Cool 10 mins before serving. Can be refrigerated up to 24 hrs before baking or frozen.
