Directions:
Combine
the warm water and yeast in a large bowl.
Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy,
about 5 minutes.
Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt.
Beat in
flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix with a spoon (some
flour may not be needed). At this point, use dough hook or knead on floured
surface for 10 minutes until dough is smooth.
Place
in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, or at this point it can be
refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Grease
one 16.5x12-inch or two 12x9-inch baking pans.
Turn
the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board.
Divide
dough into 24 equal-size pieces (about 50 grams each).
Roll
each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared
pan.
Cover
and let dough balls rise until double in volume, about 1 hour. (Remember if you
are using dough that has been refrigerated and is cold this step will take
longer).
Brush
warm rolls with melted butter, if desired.
Break
rolls apart to serve
