In a medium bowl, combine yeast, warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for five minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Make a well in the center.
Add milk, eggs, 3 tbsps of melted butter, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and turn onto a floured work surface. Divide into 20 small pieces of dough.
In a bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tbsps melted butter with garlic and Italian seasoning. Dip each piece of dough into the butter mixture, then place it in a 12-inch skillet or baking sheet in a ring shape. Repeat and make sure there is some space between the rolls. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise again for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
