Ingredients:  
2½ Cups warm milk
4 Teaspoons dry yeast
½ cup butter, softened
2 Teaspoons salt
2 eggs
7 Cups flour
¼-½ 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, ½ cup melted 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 till doubled.
Remove the towel and plastic warp 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 raise till doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
Melt the reserved butter and drizzle over the top of the rolls before baking.
Bake at 400º F for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
