Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 3 3/4 - 4 cups bread flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tandard packets (4 1/2 tsp.) rapid rise yeast/fast acting yeast
- 1 tsp. salt
Egg wash and finishing
- 1 egg, lightly beaten with a splash of water
- 2-4 Tbsp. softened butter, for brushed on baked rolls
- flaky sea salt, I use Maldon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°-180°F. Or whatever your oven will go to at the lowest, mine is 175°F. Spray a 9x13-inch oven-safe baking dish with nonstick spray or spread with softened butter. Set aside.
- Heat the milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup for about 1 minute or until warm, ~115-120°F is perfect. Be sure to use a thermometer to ensure it’s not too hot or too cold. The butter doesn’t need to be completely melted, just softened.
- Whisk in the room-temperature egg and oil. If this step significantly drops the temperature, microwave just for another few seconds to bring it up to that sweet spot range.
- Whisk together the flour (start with 3 ¾ cup), sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the dough hook. Slowly add the milk mixture on low speed.
- Increase the speed to medium-low and knead for 6-8 minutes. The dough will be smooth, and a little sticky is OK. If it still feels very sticky, add 1 tbsp. Flour at a time and knead again. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Flour your hands and using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 2 logs and then cut into 15 equal portions. I like to use a kitchen scale to make sure they’re measured perfectly, each roll will weigh ~60-65 grams.
- To shape each roll, pinch the dough at the bottom, roll it on the counter under the palm of your hand with a gently touch until it comes together in a smooth ball (see video for more guidance).
- Place dough balls in the prepared 9x13 pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. Transfer the rolls to the oven, but turn the oven OFF and all the rolls to rise again for 20 minutes. They should double in size.
- Remove the rolls from oven. Turn the oven to 375°F. Once preheated, brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
- Bake the rolls for ~16-18 minutes, keeping an eye on them so the tops don’t brown too fast. If they are, you can tent a piece of foil over the tops. They should have golden brown tops, and an internal temperature of 190°F-200°F is perfect. Remove from the oven and brush with softened butter. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Room temp: Once completely cooled, store them at room temperature in an air-tight baggie for up to 2 days. I don't like putting them in the fridge because they can dry out.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the baked rolls. Place the cooled rolls in a resealable freezer bag or wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Label the bag with the date.
