- Meanwhile, heat milk, 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small saucepan over very low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Be sure not to let the mixture become hotter than 115 degrees. or it will kill the yeast. Remove from heat, and pour into a large bowl; add the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Add 6 cups flour, and stir until mixture forms a soft dough. It may be necessary to add the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
- Transfer mixture to a lightly floured work surface, and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, allowing them to mix more easily and yield a smoother dough.
- Use active dry yeast and check the expiration date to ensure its freshness.
- When adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, do so gradually to avoid lumps. Start with a small amount and add more as needed until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, resulting in a chewy texture.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape the dough pieces into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before baking the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle them with salt immediately after they come out of the oven. This will give them a shiny, golden crust.
