Homemade Soft Bread Rolls

Ingredients:

– 4 cups all-purpose flour

– 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

– 1 cup warm milk (110°F)

– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

– 2 tablespoons sugar

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1 egg (for dough)

– 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix in the flour gradually until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

7. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

8. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

9. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade soft bread rolls!

Tips:

– Make sure the milk is at the right temperature to activate the yeast.

– Don’t skip the rising times, as they are crucial for the texture of the rolls.

– You can customize the toppings of the rolls with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even a sprinkle of cheese before baking.
