Warm milk in a saucepan until lukewarm, about 100°F.

Dissolve yeast in the warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture.

Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces.

Shape each piece into a small roll and place on a baking sheet.

Cover the rolls and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
