Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 10 g Granulated sugar
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 3 g Salt
- 120 ml Low-calorie milk (unsweetened, such as almond or skim milk)
- 15 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently to dissolve. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy. This activates the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix briefly to distribute the salt evenly.
In a small saucepan or in the microwave, warm the milk and butter until the butter has just melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
Add the frothy yeast mixture and the lukewarm milk-butter mixture to the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, dust with a little extra flour, but be careful not to add too much.
Lightly grease a large bowl with cooking spray or oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small ball.
Place the rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
