Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 piece large egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Stir gently and let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (not hot) and stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved. Add the melted butter and salt, mixing well.
In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add the milk mixture and the foamy yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula after each addition. Once the dough starts coming together, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough, then divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
Cover the shaped rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your fluffy Shakamak Yeast Rolls!
