Heat 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water in the microwave to 105-115 degrees F for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Transfer the heated milk and water to a larger bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the liquid and whisk to combine.

Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy to activate the yeast.

In a separate bowl, combine 4 1/2 cups of bread flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.

Whisk the dry ingredients together.

Whisk 2 eggs in a small bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and the whisked eggs to the dry ingredients.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until fully melted and add to the mixture.

Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until combined, adding half of the flour mixture at a time.

Transfer the sticky dough to a larger bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 2 to 2.5 hours until tripled in size and bubbly on top.

Dust the top of the risen dough with flour and stretch it out with hands.

Divide the dough into 20 pieces using a dough cutter or knife.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them in a parchment-lined 13x9 pan, ensuring they are barely touching each other.

Spray the tops with canola oil or olive oil spray, or brush with melted butter, and cover with cling wrap.

Let the rolls rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on top.

Brush the tops with softened butter while still warm and remove from the pan.
