Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (around 110°F)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)

How to Make Soft and Fluffy Bread Rolls

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add the melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and twist slightly for decorative flair.
7. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll. Cover with the towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F while the rolls are rising.
9. Brush the tops of the rolls with milk for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these soft and fluffy bread rolls warm!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your yeast is fresh for best rising results.
• Kneading the dough well helps develop gluten, contributing to the fluffiness.
• For added flavor, consider mixing in some garlic powder or herbs into the dough.
• Experiment with different toppings, such as sesame seeds or grated cheese, before baking.

Easy Variations

• For a sweet twist, add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar to the dough.
• Incorporate shredded cheese for cheesy bread rolls.
• Add chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy soups like tomato basil or potato leek.
• Hearty stews, such as beef or vegetable stew.
• Salads with a tangy vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
• Dipping sauces like olive oil with balsamic vinegar.
