- 5½–6 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour; mix on low with a bread hook for 2 minutes until well combined.
- Gradually add the remaining 3½ cups of flour; mix on low and add more flour if needed until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead on low for an additional 3 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.

Notes
For a light and airy roll, ensure the water is warm but not hot when activating the yeast.
Feel free to add nuts or additional spices to the filling for extra flavor!
These rolls can be prepared ahead and baked fresh when needed.
