1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy and activated.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and salt. Add the warm milk, eggs, and yeast mixture, stirring
to combine.
3. Add the flour: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pull away from the
sides of the bowl.
4. Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased
bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12¡Á18 inches). Brush with melted butter. Cut the dough into 12 strips
and roll each strip into a spiral. Place the rolls onto a greased baking sheet.
6. Second rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375¡ãF (190¡ãC). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Brush with butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with additional melted butter for an extra soft and delicious finish.
