   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  whole milk
      1/2           cup  butter -- divided
      1/3           cup  sugar -- granulated
   1                tsp  kosher salt
   4 1/2            tsp  instant yeast -- or active dry (2 pkts)
      1/4           cup  warm water -- just warm to the touch
   2              large  eggs
   4 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus possible 1/2 cup extra
                         melted butter -- for after baking

Add milk to a small saucepan and heat over med heat until milk forms 
a skin on top and reaches a temperature of 170F.  Remove from heat 
and set aside.

Combine 1/3 cup butter, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.  Add scalded 
milk and let sit until mixture reaches about 110F. Stir occasionally 
as it cools.

While milk is cooling, combine warm water and yeast in a small bowl 
and set aside for about 5 minutes.  Yeast should get frothy after this time.

When milk mixture reaches about 110F, add eggs to mixing bowl with 
milk mixture and whisk to combine.

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, 
add 4 1/2 cups flour and yeast mixture.  Turn the mixer on low and 
while it's running, slowly pour in the milk mixture.

Once combined, increase mixer speed to medium and knead until smooth 
and elastic/shiny. This should take between 6 and 12 minutes.

About halfway through, if dough is still really sticky, add 
additional flour, a tablespoon or two at a time, until dough is tacky 
but not sticky.

While mixer is kneading the dough, melt the remaining butter and set aside.

Flour your work surface and turn out dough. Shape into a ball and 
transfer to a greased bowl.

Brush with a little bit of the melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap 
and let rise for 2 hours in a warm place, or until doubled in size.

After dough has risen, line a couple baking sheets with parchment 
paper or grease with cooking spray. Lightly flour your work surface 
and turn out dough.  Divide into 4 equally sized portions.

Roll one portion of dough out into a 10-11" circle. Use a pizza 
cutter (or knife) and slice the circle into 8 wedges (like a pizza).

Start at the wide edge and roll towards the point.  Transfer rolls 
(point side down) to prepared baking sheets, keeping 1 to 2 inch 
distance between the rolls.  Repeat with remaining portions of dough.

Cover baking sheets with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 
until rolls have doubled in size, about 35-40 minutes.

While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 325F. Bake rolls 20 minutes, 
rotating baking sheets halfway through, until lightly golden brown.

Brush with melted butter after removing from oven.
