Soft and Fluffy Bread Rolls
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the granulated sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Add the yeast mixture and the milk mixture to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Turn it onto a floured surface and divide it into 12-16 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball or roll shape and place them in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each roll for them to expand.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the shaped rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, beat one egg and brush it gently over the tops of the rolls. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your soft and fluffy bread rolls warm.
