🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 1 Large egg
• 4 tablespoons Butter (for mopping glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (for mopping glaze)

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the milk and heat until lukewarm (about 110°F), then remove from the heat.

3. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly.

4. Add the lukewarm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for about 5-6 minutes.

6. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

7. Punch the dough down to release air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball by tucking the edges under and rolling it gently between your hands.

8. Arrange the dough balls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, leaving a bit of space between each roll. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes until puffy.

9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.

10. While the rolls are baking, prepare the mopping glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan and stirring in the honey until fully combined.

11. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, generously brush them with the honey-butter glaze while still warm.

12. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Texas Moppin Rolls fresh and warm!
