Easy soft and fluffy bread rolls
Description
This recipe for Easy soft and fluffy bread rolls produces yeasted bread with a soft interior and lightly golden exterior. Warm milk activates the instant yeast, while sugar feeds the yeast to encourage a good rise. The dough incorporates eggs and softened butter for richness, and salt balances the flavors. Kneading achieves a soft but manageable dough that is only slightly sticky. After an initial hour-long rise covered to maintain warmth, the dough is divided into eight equal pieces and formed into balls. A second rise allows for puffier rolls.
The egg wash applied before baking gives the rolls a shiny, golden finish, while melting butter brushed post-baking adds softness and flavor. Baking at 180°C achieves an evenly baked crumb with a tender bite. Versatile and straightforward, these rolls suit any meal as a bread accompaniment or for sandwiches. The recipe uses common white flours such as cake, all-purpose, or bread flour, whichever is available.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk warm
- 10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3-4 cups flour (any white flour can be used: Cake, all purpose or bread)
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup butter softened
For the egg wash
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp butter for finishing, melted
Instructions
- Whisk milk, sugar and yeast together. Allow to stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the flour and salt.
- With the mixer running, add the milk mixture and allow to knead in. Add the egg and allow to beat in.
- Add the butter, allow to knead in. At this point the dough will be quite sticky, add the remaining cup of flour one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft, smooth and just slightly sticky.
- Cover with plastic or a damp dish towel and allow to rise for 1 hour. While the dough is rising, prepare two sheet pans by lining them with parchment or baking paper.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball then place on the prepared sheet pans. Take care not to place them too close together as they will continue rising.
- Cover again and allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Whisk the egg and water together for the egg wash.
- Brush the dough balls with egg wash then place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and risen. Once baked the bread rolls will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove, brush with a little butter and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
