🥖 Soft & Fluffy Dinner Rolls (12 Rolls)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk (about 40°C / 105°F)

• 2¼ tsp (1 packet or 7 g) active dry yeast

• 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

   • In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast.

   • Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and salt.

   • Gradually add flour (start with 3 cups), mixing until a soft dough forms.

   • Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or with a dough hook, adding more flour if sticky. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, not dry.

3. First Rise:

   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Rolls:

   • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

   • Shape each into a ball and place in a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.

5. Second Rise:

   • Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

   • Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

7. Finish:

   • Brush warm rolls with melted butter for extra softness and shine.

💡 Tips:

• For extra softness, substitute some of the all-purpose flour with bread flour.

• Add a splash of honey with the sugar for a touch of sweetness.

• Want a golden top? Brush with an egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water) before baking.
