The Best Ever Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups warm milk
4 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
7 cups flour
1/4-1/2 cup butter (reserved)

Directions
-Note: Due to its sticky nature, this recipe is best made in a standing mixer with a dough hook; the truly persistent could probably make this by hand with a bowl and a wooden spoon. These rolls are worth the extra effort.
-Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let sit for approximately 5 minutes to proof.
-Add sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, salt and eggs; mix well.
-Add flour and mix well.
-Blend at medium-low speed for about 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides once or twice.
-Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
-Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to"punch down" the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
-Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops", the dough will be very sticky.
-Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the"plops", they will smooth out as they raise.
-Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise til doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
-Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
-Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
