all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients while bread flour can enhance texture.

active dry yeast

🥗Healthier: instant yeast

💰Cheaper: fresh yeast

Instant yeast can be easier to use as it doesn't require proofing.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats while margarine can be more cost-effective.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used for a lighter roll.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs.

Add in 5 1/2 cups of flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be slightly sticky and soft.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise 90 minutes.

Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and form into 24 rolls. Place on the greased baking sheet in six rows of four.

Cover and let rise 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned.

Remove rolls from oven and brush with melted butter.
