Ingredients:
- 350g of bread flour
- 200g of milk
- 40g of granulated sugar
- 3g of salt
- 10g of yeast
- 1 egg
- 30g of butter
Steps:
- In a stand mixer, combine bread flour, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and one egg. Mix until the ingredients form a cohesive dough ball.
- Incorporate 30g of butter into the dough, continuing to mix until fully integrated.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow it to rest in a warm area until it doubles in size.
- After rising, knead the dough briefly and divide it into 20 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange them on a baking tray, leaving space for expansion.
- Cover the dough balls and let them rise again until they have doubled in size.
- Gently apply an egg wash to each roll. Preheat your oven to 338°F (170°C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes. To prevent excessive browning, cover the rolls with aluminum foil after 10 minutes of baking.
- Once baked, brush the rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish and rich flavor.
