Ingredients
For the milk bread rolls
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 3 1/4 cups bread flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter
For greasing and dusting
- Oil spray, for the bowl
- A little extra flour, sifted, for dusting
Step by step
Method
Add the milk, sugar and yeast to a bowl and gently whisk until combined.
Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for 15–20 minutes to allow the yeast to activate. The mixture should become foamy.
Once the yeast has activated, add the egg, bread flour and salt to the bowl.
Begin folding the ingredients together, then start kneading the dough by hand.
Gradually knead in the butter, adding a teaspoon at a time.
Continue kneading for 15–20 minutes, until the dough is elastic.
Lightly spray your bowl with oil spray and place the ball of dough inside. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise for at least 1 hour.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air.
Roll the dough out until slightly flat, then cut it into 8 pieces, making them as equal as possible.
Fold the corners of each piece inwards, then roll each piece into a ball.
Place all the dough balls onto your baking tray and leave to rise for a further 45 minutes.
Once risen, dust the rolls with sifted flour and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 22–25 minutes.
Enjoy!
