Mix together 3/4 cup of flour, the sugar, yeast that has not been dissolved, and salt in a large bowl.
Warm up the milk, water, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan until it reaches a temperature between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture. Beat the ingredients for 2 minutes on medium speed with an electric mixer, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl. Add 1/4 cup of flour and continue beating for another 2 minutes at high speed. Gradually add in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a ball and place them in a greased 8-inch round pan. Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm, still place until it doubles in size, approximately 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Bake the rolls in the oven until they are golden brown on top, around 20 minutes. Serve while they are warm.
