2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (330 g)

🥘
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)

- Bake until golden and brush with butter for glossy tops.

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.
