Ingredients:

  • For the Dough:
    • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
    • 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 large egg
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    • In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Mix the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
    • Add the activated yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg to the flour mixture.
    • Using a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer or your hands, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise:
  4. Shape the Rolls:
    • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
    • Shape each piece into a round ball and place on a greased baking sheet.
    • Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Bake the Rolls:
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with your desired topping.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the rolls cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Serve warm with butter and your favorite spread.

Tips for Fluffy Bread Rolls:

  • Use warm milk: Warm milk helps to activate the yeast and promotes faster rising.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading develops gluten, which gives the bread its structure and chewiness.
  • Proof the dough in a warm place: A warm environment helps the dough rise more quickly.
  • Don’t overproof the dough: Overproofed dough can lead to dense and tough rolls.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh ingredients make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your bread.
