Light and soft savory rolls are a popular baked good, made from a milk-based yeast dough. They are excellent as an addition to one-pot meals, but you can also enjoy them for breakfast - with butter and jam, of course.

Ingredients

  • pieces Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 400 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 20 g Yeast, dry

  • 1 spoon Sugar, white

  • 240 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • pieces Butter, unsalted

Steps

  1. First, prepare the yeast starter: crumble the yeast into a small bowl and add sugar, one tablespoon of flour, and 60 ml of warm milk. Mix the ingredients smoothly and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes to allow the yeast to rise slightly.

  2. In a bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. Sprinkle salt around the well, then pour the risen yeast starter into the well. Add the remaining milk, softened butter, and a beaten egg. Mix the ingredients well with your fingers or a fork until they come together to form a rough dough. Then, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead it thoroughly. Once it becomes smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to your hands, shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for 90 minutes or until it doubles in volume.

  3. Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured work surface. Quickly knead it, shape it into a thick roll, and cut it into 15 pieces. Line a deep rectangular baking dish (23 x 33 cm) with parchment paper. Shape the dough pieces into balls with your hands and place them in the prepared baking dish. Leave some space between the balls as they will rise a bit more. Once all the balls are in the dish, cover them with oiled plastic wrap and let them rise at room temperature for 60 minutes.

  4. Bake the risen rolls in a preheated oven at 190°C for 15 to 20 minutes. Once they turn a nice golden brown, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Let them cool before serving.
