Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cup Milk
  • 2 g Dried Yeast
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 60 g Unsalted Butter Softened
  • 500 g Plain Flour extra if needed
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Large Egg Room Temperature

Instructions
 

  • Warm the milk over low heat on the stove or in the microwave. Make sure it is only lukewarm.
  • Add warmed milk to a heatproof jug, sprinkle yeast over the top, add a pinch of sugar and mix.
  • Allow approx 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.
  • Melt the butter and set it aside.
  • In the large mixing bowl or bowl from your stand mixer, add sifted flour, rest of the sugar, salt and whisked egg.
  • Mixed together with a spoon, then knead with a dough hook (on medium-low speed) or by hand until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl or your hands. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Create a ball out of the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with glad wrap and prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Once proved, push the dough to release excess air. Then place the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Create a roll and cut it into 16 equal pieces.
  • Create a small ball out of each piece and place them into a greased 20cm square baking dish.
  • Cover loosely with glad wrap and prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Baste the top of the rolls and place in a preheated oven of 200°C for 20 minutes or until brown on top.
  • Remove the cooked rolls from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Remove the rolls from the tin and allow them to cool further on a cooling rack or serve while still warm.
