Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm milk (about 110°F/45°C)
- 45 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk, letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, but avoid adding too much to keep the baps soft.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a flattened round roll, about 1 inch thick, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between the rolls to allow for expansion.
Cover the rolls loosely with a cloth and let them rise again for 20 minutes, until slightly puffed.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Dust the tops of the baps lightly with flour.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the baps are a light golden color but still soft to the touch.
Let the baps cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them fresh with butter, or use them as rolls for sandwiches!
