Bread rolls are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a soft and fluffy texture that complements a variety of dishes. Perfect for beginners and expert bakers alike, this recipe uses simple ingredients to create delicious, homemade bread rolls that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out all the ingredients and make sure the milk is lukewarm (around 110°F or 43°C). This temperature helps activate the yeast without killing it.
- In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm milk with 2 tsp of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This indicates that the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with 1 tsp of salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
- Melt the 2 tbsp of butter and add it to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients together either using your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Continue to knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning the dough once to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the gas. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough into equal portions (about 12-16 pieces, depending on the size you prefer for your rolls).
- Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave some space between each roll for rising.
- Cover the shaped rolls lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
- While the rolls are undergoing their second rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the rolls are ready and the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade bread rolls!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps the dough rise more efficiently.
- Be patient with the dough. Allow enough time for it to rise properly, which contributes to the bread rolls' softness.
- Knead the dough thoroughly, about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer, to develop the gluten, which provides structure and elasticity.
- If possible, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour for a better texture and rise.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before and after baking for a golden, flavorful crust.
