🧾 Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk (heated to about 110°F / 43°C)
- 2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened, room temperature)
For Brushing (Optional but Recommended):
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Melted butter (for brushing after baking)
🥣 Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. This means your yeast is alive and ready.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
Add eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk gently. Add flour and salt gradually, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Add the Butter
Add softened butter little by little while kneading. Continue kneading for 10–12 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly shiny.
Step 4: First Rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1½–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough. Divide into equal portions (12–15 rolls). Shape into smooth balls and place in a greased baking dish.
Step 6: Second Rise
Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
Step 7: Bake
Brush with egg wash. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8: Finish
Brush hot rolls with melted butter for extra softness and shine ✨
