Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 56 g Unsalted butter
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 60 ml Warm water (about 43°C/110°F)
- 400 g All-purpose flour
- 5 g Salt
- 1 whole Large egg
- 30 g Melted butter for brushing
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and butter until fully melted. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, the yeast mixture, the egg, and the salt. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead for 6-8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.
Cover the rolls with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish and added richness.
Serve warm and enjoy the soft, fluffy goodness of your Feather Bed Rolls!
