  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 1 egg optional

Method

  3. Knead dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours
  5. Punch down dough and divide it into equal portions
  6. Shape into rolls and place on a baking tray
  7. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes

  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown
  10. Brush with melted butter and serve warm

Notes

Do not overheat milk, or it will kill the yeast
Avoid adding too much flour to keep rolls soft
Let the dough rise fully for a fluffy texture
Brush with butter immediately after baking for extra softness
