| 1/2 |

cup milk |
| 6 |
|
tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter |
|
|
Warm water (105°F to 115°F) |
| 1/2 |
|
cup sugar |
| 1 |

egg |
| 1 |

teaspoon salt |
| 2 |
|
(1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast |
| 5 to 5 1/2 |
|
cups bread flour |
Place milk and
4 tablespoons
butter in 2-cup glass measuring cup. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes. Add enough warm water to measure 2 cups.
Combine sugar, egg and salt in large bowl; mix well. Add milk mixture; mix well. Stir in yeast; let stand 2 minutes.
Add
3 cups
flour. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth and elastic. Add 2 cups flour. Mix dough with hook or stir in by hand until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour by hand to make dough easy to handle.
Place dough into greased bowl. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; brush top of dough. Reserve remaining melted butter. Cover; let rise until double in size (about 45 minutes). (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
Punch down dough; divide in half. Shape each half on lightly floured surface into 12 buns. Place buns onto two greased (15x10x1-inch) jelly-roll pans. Brush with reserved melted butter. Cover; let rise until double in size (about 1 hour).
Heat oven to 375°F.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan immediately. Brush buns with reserved melted butter, if desired.
