Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast ¼ ounce
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk
  • 2 ounces butter room temperature
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 4 ¼ cups flour plus ¼ to ½ cup more for kneading
  • ½ cup fine breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer bowl, combine water and yeast. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes bubbly. Stir well.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Stir together until incorporated.
  • Add the milk mixture and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, beat to combine.
  • Gradually add the remaining 2 ¼ cups flour in ½ cup increments and continue to combine all ingredients.
  • On a lightly floured surface, turn over the dough and knead, sparingly adding the remaining ¼ cup flour as necessary, for about 10 minutes or until smooth, supple, and elastic.
  • In a lightly oiled large bowl, place the dough. Cover it with film and allow it to rise for about 1 to 1 ½ hours or until double in size.
  • On a lightly floured surface, transfer the dough and divide it into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and roll it in breadcrumbs to coat.
  • Arrange the balls about 1-inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and allow them to rise for about 1 to 1 ½ hours or until double in size.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy.
