Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 Egg yolk (for egg wash, optional)
- 15 milliliters Water (for egg wash, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small pot, heat the milk over low heat until warm but not hot (about 38°C or 100°F). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 6–8 minutes on medium speed.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release the air, and divide it into 12 equal portions (approximately 55–60 grams each). Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Step 7
Arrange the dough balls into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using an egg wash, whisk together the egg yolk and water, and gently brush the tops of the rolls for a shiny finish.
Step 9
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. To check doneness, lightly tap the top of a roll—it should sound hollow.
Step 10
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
