Making the Dough

• In a bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar into ¼ cup of warm water at 110°F-115°F. Stir in 2 ¼ teaspoons of dry yeast.
• Within several minutes, the yeast will have absorbed enough liquid to activate and start to rise. After ten minutes, the yeast mixture should be bubbling and foamy.
• In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream butter and sugar for 1 minute. Add eggs and milk and mix for 2 more minutes. Add in proofed yeast mixture.
• Pour in flour and salt. Mix for 5-7 minutes. Add 1-3 tablespoons of flour, if needed.
• Cover bowl and set aside to rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1-2 hours.
• Once the dough is doubled, roll into small balls, about 7-9 depending on size preference. Place on greased or buttered baking pan.
• In a small bowl, stir together butter, garlic, and seasonings. Lightly spread ¼ of butter mixture over the rolls.
• Cover and set aside to rise for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 14 - 18 minutes or until golden brown.
• Brush rolls with remaining garlic butter. Let the rolls soak up the garlic butter.
• Serve warm or store in an air-tight container.
