Begin by heating the milk and butter until the butter begins to melt.

Combine the milk and butter mixture with the yeast and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Add in the salt and 2 cups of flour, beating for 3 minutes.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, typically about 8 minutes.

Place it in a greased bowl and cover for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Warm up the boiling solution until it gets to a rolling boil.

Punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces.

Roll these into balls to make the rolls.

Place each roll in the solution for 2 minutes turning after 1 minute.

Remove the rolls with a slotted spoon and place on a greased baking sheet.

Continue this process for remaining rolls.

Beat the eggs and mix with the water to create the egg solution.

Cut a cross top in each roll.

Brush the egg wash or drizzle it onto each roll.

Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F for an additional 12 minutes, until evenly browned.

Let cool, then slice and build sandwiches.
