Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 Egg yolk (for egg wash, optional)
- 15 milliliters Water (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
In a small pot, heat the milk over low heat until warm but not hot (about 38°C or 100°F). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 6–8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release the air, and divide it into 12 equal portions (approximately 55–60 grams each). Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Arrange the dough balls into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using an egg wash, whisk together the egg yolk and water, and gently brush the tops of the rolls for a shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. To check doneness, lightly tap the top of a roll—it should sound hollow.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
