Soft milk bread rolls

AT YOUR PACE, STEP BY STEP

Let’s get baking

1. 01

   Mix the flour, yeast, and sugar. Add the lukewarm milk, dough egg, and salt. Knead for 5 minutes until no dry patches remain.

2. 02

   Add the butter and knead for another 8 to 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky; avoid adding too much flour.

3. 03

   Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 75 minutes, until doubled in size. It will take longer in a cold kitchen.

4. 04

   Gently press out excess air. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls, tucking the edges underneath. Arrange in a greased 23 × 33 cm pan.

5. 05

   Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes, until puffy. Preheat the oven to 190 °C, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

6. 06

   Remove from the pan and cool on a rack for 20 minutes. Keep covered for up to 2 days, or freeze once cooled for up to 1 month.

Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
