Steps:
- Warm milk to 110ºF. Add in 1 Tablespoon of your sugar and then the yeast and whisk to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Add your flour to your mixing bowl and then add in your milk/yeast mixture. Stir on low to combine
- While mixing on low, add in your sugar, eggs, butter and salt until combined
- Increase the speed to medium and let mix until the dough cleans the sides of the bowls and feels elastic and smooth. The dough should bounce back when you touch it with your finger. This can take 8 - 12 minutes *do the window test - see blog post for details*
- Shape the dough into a smooth ball and then place it into a greased bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 90 minutes in a warm place ***optional***(I pre-heat my oven to 170ºF for five minutes then TURN THE OVEN OFF. It should be barely warm inside. Place a bowl of warm water in the back of the oven and your covered bowl of dough into the oven and shut the door)
- You can now shape the dough into rolls, make cinnamon rolls, sticky buns etc. See the blog post above for links to other recipes.

BASIC SWEET DOUGH
I have made plenty of sweet breads, and I always favored the Hungarian Coffee Cake and Swedish Tea Ring. This sweet dough recipe is my mother's, and this works out really well because it is an old recipe. I have also used others which were more recent and still turned out well, but this one is the best I have found. Use this recipe for the basis of your sweet breads.

THE BEST SWEET YEAST ROLL DOUGH I HAVE EVER FOUND
These homemade rolls are a recipe that brings back memories of childhood. It's a basic, old-fashioned yeast roll recipe. They smell amazing while baking but be patient... good things come to those who wait. Dense but tender, they remind us of a Hawaiian roll in flavor but with a firmer texture. These rolls are delicious alone,...

Steps:
- 1. Scald milk (bring just to a boil and remove from heat immediately).
- 2. Stir in sugar, salt, and butter. Set aside and allow to cool to lukewarm.
- 3. In a large bowl mix warm water and yeast. Stir until dissolved.
- 4. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture.
- 5. Add beaten eggs.
- 6. Stir in half the flour. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour gradually, mixing as you go. You may need a bit more or less than the total 4 1/2 cups called for in the recipe, depending on the humidity and other factors.
- 7. Your dough should be elastic and slightly stiff but not dry.
- 8. Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and very elastic. This usually takes 8-10 minutes.
- 9. Butter the inside of a large mixing bowl. Put dough in bowl and turn dough over a couple of times to coat it all with the butter.
- 10. Cover bowl and place in a warm place so it can rise.
- 11. It will take about 1 hour to double in bulk.
- 12. At that time punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured board to shape.
- 13. At this point, you can shape and fill as desired. To make dinner rolls, pinch off about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and shape into a ball. Place each one in a buttered muffin tin or baking pan, barely touching each other, do not crowd rolls.
- 14. Cover prepared rolls and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, again about 1 hour.
- 15. Rolls should now touch each other. (A little more rising will occur during baking.)
- 16. Preheat oven to 350 degrees when rolls are about 10 minutes from being ready for baking. When ready to bake place rolls in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They should be browned nicely and smell so good and yeasty!
- 17. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter immediately when removed from the oven.
- 18. Allow rolls to sit for at least 10-15 minutes before eating.

Tips:
- Proof the dough properly: This is essential for a light and fluffy dough. Proofing allows the yeast to ferment the sugars in the dough, producing carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles that give the dough its characteristic texture. Proof the dough in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth, until it has doubled in size.
- Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading can develop the gluten in the dough too much, making it tough. Knead the dough just until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- Use a light touch when shaping the rolls: Be gentle when shaping the rolls, to avoid deflating the dough. Use your hands to gently form the dough into balls, then place them in the baking dish.
- Brush the rolls with butter before baking: This will help them brown and give them a shiny crust. Brush the rolls with melted butter before placing them in the oven.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Conclusion:
Sweet dough rolls are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for sandwiches, sliders, or simply served with butter and jam. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sweet dough rolls at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
