Method
-
- Preparing the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, water, sugar, salt, and dried yeast. Stir well to dissolve the yeast. Add the flour gradually while mixing until it starts coming together.
- Incorporating Butter:
- Pour in the melted butter. Mix and knead the dough until fully combined. It might be a bit messy initially, but keep kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise:
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shaping the Rolls:
- Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll it into a long string, then divide it equally into 9 portions. Shape each portion into rounded buns and place them in a greased baking pan.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the buns and let them rise for an additional 15 minutes in a warm spot.
- Prepping for Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Egg Wash:
- Whisk the egg and 10g of melted butter together to create the egg wash. Using a kitchen brush, gently brush the egg wash over the tops of the risen buns.
- Baking:
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the dinner rolls at 200°C for approximately 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown on the surface.
- Cooling:
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the rolls cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Resisting the temptation to eat them right away is tough but ensures better texture.
Pro Tips- Use warm milk to activate the yeast for optimal rising.
- Allow the dough to double in size during the first rise for light and airy rolls.
- Resist the urge to skip the second rise; it contributes to the rolls’ texture.
- Brushing the rolls with the egg wash creates a glossy finish.
- Serve the rolls warm for the best experience, paired with butter or your favourite spread.
