Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm but not hot (about 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small log or finger roll, about 4 inches long.
Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with vegetable oil or melted butter for a soft, golden crust.
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
