Ingredients

Roux
  • 3 tablespoons milk whole
  • 3 tablespooons water
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Dough
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon milk powder for baking, dry
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk whole
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the Roux or bread starter by mixing the milk, water, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly but isn't pasty. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Fit a stand mixer with a dough hook. Add the roux and all the Dough ingredients together, mixing on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. Increase the speed to medium-low and knead for another 5-6 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and soft. If kneading by hand, it will take about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 90 minutes, or until puffy. Divide the dough into 9 portions, shape each portion into a ball, and place them in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan. Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 50 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Brush the surface of the rolls with milk and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
