Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Low sodium baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Start by warming the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until lukewarm, about 100°F (38°C). Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar over the milk. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy and bubbles form on the surface, indicating the yeast is activated.
In the same mixing bowl, add the remaining sugar, unsalted butter (softened), egg, low sodium baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but able to form a ball.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
Cover the baking pan with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size again.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them immediately with melted unsalted butter for a glossy finish.
Let the rolls cool slightly in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium butter rolls.
