Ingredients

(Space between each line)

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (330 g)

1 cup warm milk (not hot)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons soft butter

1 egg (room temperature)

2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)

1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing after baking)

🥘 

Instructions

(Space between each paragraph/line)

Warm the milk slightly (should be warm to touch, not hot). Add sugar and yeast. Let it sit 5 minutes until foamy.

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and softened butter.

Add the egg and yeast mixture to the flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic (you can use a mixer or hands).

Grease a bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise 1 hour or until doubled.

Punch down the dough and divide into 7–9 equal balls.

Shape each piece into a smooth round ball.

Place them in a greased baking pan or cast-iron skillet like the picture.

Cover and let rise another 30–40 minutes until puffy.

Brush the tops with milk or an egg wash.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.

Brush warm rolls with melted butter for the perfect shine.

How to Make (Detailed Steps)

1. Activate the yeast with sugar and warm milk.
2. Combine all ingredients and knead well to build gluten.
3. Let the dough rise until doubled — this creates fluffiness.
4. Shape into smooth balls for even baking.
5. Let rise again for extra softness.
6. Bake until golden and brush with butter for glossy tops.

• Cheese Stuffed Rolls: Add a cube of mozzarella inside each ball.

• Sweet Rolls: Add extra sugar + brush with honey butter.

• Herb Rolls: Add thyme or oregano into the dough.

💡 

Tips for Perfect Soft Rolls

• Warm milk helps activate yeast and softens the dough.

• Dough must be soft and slightly sticky—don’t add too much flour.

• Second rise is important for fluffy texture.

• Brush with butter right after baking for softness.

• If using dry active yeast, let it foam 10 minutes before mixing.
