In a stand mixer, add the yeast, warm milk, and ½ teaspoon of sugar. (Just take the sugar from the ¼ cup amount.) Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until the yeast is nice and foamy.
Once the yeast is foamy, add the eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and 3 cups of flour. Mix until well combined. Add 1 cup more of flour and mix.
If needed, add more flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should feel soft and not sticky. If it sticks to the bottom of the bowl some, that is ok.
Continue kneading the dough for 3 to 4 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Place in a warm area until doubled. (This usually takes about an hour.)
Once the dough has doubled, punch down and divide into 20 equal-sized pieces. Form each piece into a roll shape, pinching the bottom as needed. Place each one into a greased 9x13 pan in 5 rows of 4.
Cover the pan with the dishcloth or plastic wrap that has been lightly sprayed with oil and allow to rise until the rolls are touching one another. While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375º Fahrenheit.
Once they are touching, remove the cover and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter after baking. Enjoy!
