1 steps

Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast (2 envelopes)
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature

Directions

  1. 1
    ["In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.", "In a small saucepan or microwave, heat the milk, water, and butter together until warm but not hot. It's okay if the butter doesn't melt entirely.", "Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Mix on medium speed with the dough hook for 2 minutes.", "Add 1/2 cup of flour and the eggs and beat for another 2 minutes. Add enough flour to make an elastic dough -- the dough will be sticky but shouldn't be wet. You may not use all the flour called for, or you might need a little more than the recipe calls for. Just add it a little at a time until the consistency is right.", "Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes.", "Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 20 minutes.", "Punch down the dough and, using lightly floured hands, shape into whatever shape you want. My favorite shapes are these three. 1: Cloverleaf rolls: Pinch off small pieces, roll them into balls, and place three small balls each into the wells of well-greased muffin tin. 2: Classic rolls: Divide the dough into 18 pieces, roll each piece into a ball, and place 9 balls in one greased 9\" round pan and 9 in another 9\"" round pan. 3: Twist rolls: Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a thin coil
