How to Make Find The 4 Leaf Clover Rolls

  1. Warm 1 cup of milk until lukewarm (approximately 105-115°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
  3. Let stand for 15 minutes until foamy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon salt to the mixture.
  5. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a rough dough forms. Add more flour as needed to achieve a slightly sticky but manageable dough.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  7. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  8. Grease two 6-cup muffin tins with shortening or cooking spray.
  9. Punch down the risen dough and roll it into 1-inch balls.
  10. Arrange 3 dough balls in each muffin cup, except for a few cups where you'll arrange 4 balls to create the four-leaf clovers.
  11. Cover the muffin tins with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for another 1.5 hours, or until almost doubled in size.
  12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  13. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush over the risen rolls.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Let cool slightly in the muffin tins before serving. Enjoy the lucky charm rolls!
