First, place the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a large mixing bowl. (I use my Electric Mixer Bowl)
Second, place the wet ingredients: milk and water into a microwaveable safe bowl and heat until the temperature reaches between 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. (Use a thermometer to make sure that it doesn't get so hot that it kills your yeast.)
Third, pour the milk and water mixture into the dry ingredients and give it a really good mix. (I use a large wooden spoon or a spatula.)
Next, add the melted butter and mix again.
Then, knead the dough with the electric mixer for 10 minutes. (I use the speed 2 for kneading dough on my mixer) You don't have to use an electric mixer, you can certainly knead the dough by hand. It will just take a little longer and a little more work. I would do 12-15 minutes of kneading by hand.
After the dough has been kneaded, then cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the dough is resting, take a glass baking dish and brush it with butter. I chose a glass baking dish that isn't so big that my rolls won't touch. I want them to be close for support while they rise.
Whenever the dough is done resting, sprinkle some of the bread flour on your table and pull the dough out of the mixing bowl and onto the floured table.
Knead just a couple of times and stretch the dough out into an oblong shape to cut into 8 portion sizes.
Take each sectioned portion of dough in your hand and knead it by rolling it into itself a couple of times. Then roll the dough in the palm of your hand until it becomes a ball.
Place the newly shaped rolls into the buttered baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until they are doubled in size. (About an hour)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place rolls on the middle rack.
Bake rolls for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and browned on top.
Serve while piping hot with butter or alongside your favorite dish and ENJOY!
