Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy
  2. Add butter, egg, salt, and flour and mix to form a soft dough
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled
  5. Punch down the dough and divide into equal portions
  6. Shape each portion into balls and place in a baking tray
  7. Cover and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes
  8. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden brown
  9. Brush with butter after baking for a soft, glossy finish

Notes

Use warm milk, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast
Do not over-flour the dough to keep rolls soft
Let the dough rise fully for the best fluffy texture
Brush with butter immediately after baking for the best results
