Steps:
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high until it just starts to simmer, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter and the sugar until melted. Set aside to cool.
- Put the warm water in a small liquid measuring cup and stir in the yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and half the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining flour, mixing until a smooth ball forms. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to knead the dough until very smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, then place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60 to 75 minutes.
- Melt the remaining 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Set aside.
- Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, line with parchment paper then spray the paper.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto the prepared surface. Pat into an even thickness.
- Use a chef's knife or bench scraper to divide the dough into 24 pieces, then shape into balls to create small rolls. Place in the prepared baking dish in rows of 4 by 6, then brush the tops of the rolls with 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the rolls lightly with flaky sea salt. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cornmeal: Opt for finely ground cornmeal to ensure smooth, light rolls.
- Activate the Yeast: Always proof the yeast in warm water and sugar before adding it to the dough. This activates the yeast and helps it work properly.
- Proper Kneading: Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This develops the gluten and gives the rolls their characteristic texture.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Shaping the Rolls: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape them into balls, and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Baking: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finishing Touch: Brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for a glossy finish.
