Instructions

1. Heat 1/2 cup of water in the microwave. It should be in the range of 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit.   We try to get the water to be as close to 105 degrees as possible.
2. Add the active yeast to the water, give it a stir and allow it to bloom for about 10 minutes. It will begin to slightly bubble.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the rest of the milk, the sugar, the melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
4. Whisk together until combined.
5. Add all of the flour and the salt to the mixing bowl.
6. Add the milk/yeast mixture to the bowl.
7. Using the hook attachment, mix on medium for about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
8. The dough is the right consistency when it begins to cleanly pull away from the sides of the bowl.
9. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for at least 60 minutes.
10. The dough should double in size.
11. Punch down the dinner roll dough while it is still in the bowl.
12. Remove the dough from the bowl.
13. Divide the dough into equal portions (we used a scale to make sure each roll would be the same size.)  We made 12 large-ish rolls but you can make about 16-20 with this recipe. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball. Fold the rough edges onto the bottom of the dough ball.
14. Place the rolls in a buttered 9x13" baking dish. Cover dish with a towel and allow them to rise for another  30 minutes.
15. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
16. Bake in an oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes or until they are Golden Brown on the top.  If they are getting too brown, cover with a piece of aluminum foil for the last half of the baking time.
17. Serve immediately.
