Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups 325gr all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 packet about 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cups + 2 tablespoons 150ml tepid milk (any milk is fine, I use whole milk)
- 2 large eggs divided
- 4 tablespoons 56gr unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing on baked rolls
Instructions
- To make the dough, in a large mixing bowl with paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
- Add milk and 1 egg. Mix for about 1 minute.
- While the mixer is running on low, add butter one piece at a time. Increase the speed to medium and mix until dough is well combined. (The dough may seem super soft and sticky, but it's totally normal. See photos for reference.)
- Replace the paddle attachment with dough hook, and knead for 6 minutes on medium speed. (It's normal for the dough to be super sticky, it'll get smoother as you knead it. If the dough is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is smooth and soft.)
- Cover with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm place to rise, for about 30-60 minutes. (TIP: Put it in a microwave with a glass of hot water. Don’t turn on the microwave.)
- Once the dough is doubled in size, turn it onto a counter, sprinkled with flour. Knead the dough into a smooth ball and divide it into 2 equal balls.
- To shape the rolls, roll each dough into 14-inch circles.
- Then cut it into 12 equal wedges, as if you’re cutting a pizza.
- Roll the triangles into a spiral, not too tight, but not too loose either.
- Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Rest for about 20 minutes to rise.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- To make the egg wash, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until smooth.
- Brush the egg wash evenly on rolls right before baking.
- To bake, bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until nice and golden.
- Transfer the rolls to a wire rack.
- Brush on remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and cool before serving.
