Easy Soft and Fluffy Bread Rolls
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour (you can also use cake flour or whole wheat flour)
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
1 cup warm milk (or warm water)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (olive oil or canola oil works too)
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Make the dough:
In a bowl, combine the instant yeast with warm milk (or warm water) and sugar. Whisk together and let it stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine 3 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
With the mixer running, pour in the yeast mixture and allow it to incorporate.
Add the beaten egg and beat in the softened butter. The dough might look wet and sticky at this stage.
Gradually add the remaining cup of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky. You might not need all the flour.
Allow the dough to proof (rise):
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp dish towel. Let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in volume.
Alternatively, you can place the dough in the refrigerator overnight to proof (cover it well with plastic wrap).
Shape the rolls:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 even pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not too close to each other as they’ll rise while baking.
Second rise and preheat the oven:
Cover the rolls again and let them rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the bread rolls:
Brush the proofed dough balls with egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk).
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Enjoy! Serve these soft and fluffy bread rolls warm with your favorite toppings or fillings.
These rolls are versatile and can be customized to your liking. You can also try variations like garlic butter dinner rolls or other easy bread recipes. Bon appétit! ????????
