sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar offers a similar sweetness with a hint of molasses.

Mix the yeast with warm milk and warm water in a bowl and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide the dough into equal portions, aiming for around 18 to 24 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Flatten each ball into an oval shape about 6 inches long and brush melted butter on one half of the oval.

Fold the unbuttered half over the buttered half to create the clamshell shape.

Arrange the shaped rolls in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, leaving space between each roll for expansion.

Let the rolls rise again for about 30 to 40 minutes until light and airy.

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Bake the rolls for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush the warm rolls with melted butter after baking.
