Ingredients

275 grams 2 1/4 cups flour
20 grams yeast or 1 packet active dry yeast*
50 grams 1/4 cup sugar
5 grams salt 1/2 tsp
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla
1 stick butter

Instructions

Mix: Ingredients should be at room temperature. Place all ingredients (except butter) in a stand mixer with a dough hook. Mix until blended, about 2 minutes. Cut the stick of butter into 8 pieces. Increase mixer speed to 4, and drop one piece at a time into the mixer, allowing each piece to incorporate into the dough for 30 seconds. Once all of the butter is blended in, mix on speed 4 for an additional 10 minutes. Increase speed to 6 and continue kneading for 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky.
Rise: Let it rise at room temperature for 15 minutes. Press piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Roll: When you remove it from the refrigerator, the dough will be somewhat hard. Dust the counter with flour. Place the dough on the counter and cut into 9 equal pieces (about 65 grams each). Dust each piece with flour and shape into a roll. Place the dough balls into greased 8x8 pan.
Rise: Let them rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Bake: Bake at 400F until golden brown, around 20-25 minutes.

Notes

*If using active dry yeast, place the milk in a medium bowl. Microwave it for about 20 seconds. Add the yeast and sugar to the bowl and let it set for about 5 minutes. (I have not tested it with active yeast, but it should work)
