1/4 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, yeast, salt and 2 cups of flour. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120° to 130°F. Carefully add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed for three minutes.
Add two of the eggs to the mixture and beat on high speed for two minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. The dough will be sticky at this step.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it with your hands for six to eight minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to grease the top. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Editor's Tip: If the house is cold, proof bread in the oven. Don't turn the oven on, though.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide and shape the dough into 24 balls. Place the dough balls in two greased 13x9-inch baking pans. Cover the pans with kitchen towels and let the rolls rise in a warm place until they've doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly beat the remaining egg and brush the rolls with it. (This will help give them a beautiful golden color.) Bake the dinner rolls for 10 to 15 minutes until they're golden brown. Remove the rolls from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool slightly. Serve them warm.
