These rolls have the perfect structure: a slightly crisp, golden crust and a soft, airy interior with just enough chew to stand up to saucy fillings without getting soggy.
INGREDIENTS
For this recipe, you need: Bread flour, Water, Milk, Honey, Butter, Instant yeast, Milk powder, Salt, and Egg.
In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm water, lukewarm milk, honey, and instant yeast. Stir together gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
STEP 1: ACTIVATE THE YEAST
Add 3 cups of the bread flour, the milk powder, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir together until a shaggy dough form. Knead with remaining flour for 5-7 mins.
STEP 2: MIX THE DOUGH
Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
STEP 3: BULK FERMENT
Once doubled, turn the dough out and divide it into 4 equal portions. Press a portion into a rectangle, then roll it up tightly from one end to create a cylindrical shape.
STEP 4: PORTION AND SHAPE
Cover the shaped rolls loosely with plastic wrap and allow them to rise for 30 to 45 minutes in a warm place.
STEP 5: SECOND RISE
Brush each roll with beaten egg wash. Using a sharp knife or bread lame, cut a single slit lengthwise down the center of each roll.
STEP 6: EGG WASH AND SCORE
Bake at 350°F for 22 to 25 minutes until the rolls are deeply golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing
