🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Room temperature unsalted butter (for brushing)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, ground nutmeg, and instant yeast.

2. 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).

3. Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.

4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.

5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until it doubles in size.

6. Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.

7. Shape each portion into a roll and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise again for 30 minutes.

8. While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

9. After the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

10. Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with room-temperature butter for a glossy finish and added flavor.

11. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
