In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water, sugar, and yeast, and stir well. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it gets bubbly and activates the yeast.
Add the melted butter, eggs, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture, then mix on low using the bread hook for 2 minutes, or until everything is well-mixed.
Add an additional 2.5 cups of flour, then stir on low to combine. Add up to 1 cup more flour slowly, only until the dough pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
