Description

These soft breakfast rolls are fluffy, lightly golden, and perfect with butter, jam, or savory spreads. A comforting homemade addition to any breakfast table that is easy to make with simple ingredients and baking at home.


Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk and melted butter to the dry mixture. The warm milk helps activate the yeast, while butter adds richness and tenderness to the dough.
  3. Knead Dough: Knead the mixture by hand or with a mixer fitted with a dough hook until it forms a soft, smooth dough, typically about 8-10 minutes. Proper kneading develops gluten, giving the rolls structure and a fluffy texture.
  4. First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. This fermentation step helps the yeast produce carbon dioxide, which makes the dough airy.
  5. Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough gently to release excess air, then divide it evenly into 10 portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and arrange them spaced evenly in a greased baking dish or tray.
  6. Bake Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18 to 22 minutes until they turn lightly golden on top, indicating they are fully cooked and ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra softness, brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.
  • These rolls are excellent for making breakfast sandwiches with eggs, cheese, or your favorite fillings.
  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure dough rises in an ideal warm environment (around 75-80°F) for best results.
