How to Make Soft Milk Bread Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it rest for a few minutes until the yeast becomes foamy. Add flour, salt, egg, and butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Knead

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. This usually takes about 8–10 minutes.

Step 3: First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth roll and place them in a greased baking tray.

Step 5: Second Rise

Cover the tray and let the rolls rise again until puffy.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the rolls turn golden brown.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
