Description

These Fluffy Bread Rolls are soft, buttery, and irresistibly golden—perfect for any meal or occasion. Whether served warm with butter, as a dinner side, or used for sandwiches, their pillowy texture and rich flavor make them a crowd favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for a chewier texture)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 3 tbsp softened butter (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Warm the milk and mix it with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a towel. Let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffed and almost doubled in size.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash for a glossy finish. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Brush warm rolls with more melted butter for extra softness. Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • For a savory twist, sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated cheese before baking.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave for a fresh-baked taste.
