Ingredients
Scale
- 150ml warm milk
- 25g (2 tbsp) white sugar
- 3g (1 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 300g all-purpose or bread flour
- 3g (0.5 tsp) salt
- 30g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter (for dough)
- 5g unsalted butter (for baking pan)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the egg, flour, and salt, then mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, then add butter and continue kneading for another 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, and shape into rolls.
- Grease a pan with butter and place the rolls inside. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Heat a covered pan on low heat and place the rolls inside. Cook for 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let the bread cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the yeast is active by letting it foam in the warm milk before proceeding.
- Use low heat while cooking to prevent burning while allowing the bread to cook through.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey for extra flavor.
