Big Fluffy Milk Bread Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 kg all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast)
  • 100 g sugar (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 400 ml warm milk
  • 100 ml warm water
  • 100 g unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tbsp powdered milk (optional, for richness)

For brushing:

  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
  • Butter or honey (for brushing after baking for shine)

Method:

1. Activate the yeast

  • Mix warm water, 1 tsp sugar, and yeast.
  • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make the dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and powdered milk.
  • Add the eggs, activated yeast, and warm milk.
  • Mix and knead until you get a soft, slightly sticky dough.

3. Add the butter

  • Gradually add softened butter while kneading.
  • Knead for 10–15 minutes by hand or 8–10 minutes with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic.

4. First proof

  • Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap.
  • Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. Shape the rolls

  • Divide the dough into equal portions (around 24–30 pieces for small rolls).
  • Shape into smooth balls and place in a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, close together but not touching.

6. Second rise

  • Cover and let them proof again for 30–45 minutes, or until puffy and touching.

7. Bake

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds (if using).
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Finishing

  • Brush hot rolls with melted butter or honey for a shiny, soft finish.

Tips:

  • For extra soft texture, use bread flour or add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the flour.
  • You can stuff the rolls with cheese or chocolate before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container once cooled to keep soft for days
