Ingredients

ingredient and directions list

We are gonna need some ingredients to whip up these magical dinner rolls. First, you'll want 1 tablespoon of dry yeast—it's what makes the dough rise like magic! Don't forget 1/4 cup of caster sugar, or normal white sugar if you're fresh out.

Next, grab 1/2 cup of warm water to wake up that yeast! Now, for the flour—you'll need 4 cups, plus extra for dusting—nobody likes a sticky mess. Then, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, cause rolls need a little something y'know? Salt is a crucial ingredient that enhances the flavor of the rolls.

We're not done yet! Next, 1 cup of lukewarm milk—whole or low-fat, whatever you have. And 50g of melted butter, cooled down a bit. Finally, 2 eggs, at room temp, beaten with a fork like they owe you money! We are now ready to get started!

Instructions

concise instruction following phrases

First, I'll take the yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar and place them in a medium bowl—then, I'll pour in the water. It's like making friends with the yeast, giving it a sugary bath! Let that sit for 5 minutes, getting all nice and frothy.

Next, I'll combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt, mixing those dry ingredients in a separate bowl. I make a well in the center—like building a tiny flour fort!

I'll then add milk, butter, eggs, carefully pouring in the yeast liquid, froth and all. It's starting to look like something now! When mixing the dry ingredients, be sure to check if your baking powder is fresh for the best results.

I will mix with a wooden spoon until it's combined, forming a thick, sticky batter—not pourable, just wonderfully gloopy.

I'll leave the dough in the bowl, covering it up with a wet towel in a warm spot, for around 1 1/2 – 2 hours. Almost tripled? This is a sign!

Recipe Notes

recipe directions and notes

Just so you know, that 1 tbsp of dry yeast—that's about 9 grams. If it doesn't froth, your buns won't rise, sorry!

Hot milk and hot water? That kills the yeast, so don't do that. Think pleasant bath water, not too hot or cold.

Bread flour's fluffier, but normal flour works too. Cups differ, so use 4 1/2 cups for US/Canada, 4 for everyone else (except Japan, weigh it there).

Dryer's a warm place! I know, I know—sounds crazy, but it works! Run it empty for a minute, then pop the bowl inside.

Reduce the sugar a little–go down to 2 tablespoons of sugar if you want to!

Make Ahead & Storing

prepare now store later

If you're keen on getting ahead, follow the recipe up to rolling the dough balls, cover them snugly with cling wrap, and then pop them into the fridge for a good chill—anywhere from 4 to 24 hours works for this second rise! When you're ready, take 'em out 30 minutes before baking.

Now, as for storing, homemade bread is always best on day one, right? Stuff made without kneading doesn't last as long, sadly! But hey, zap 'em in the microwave for 15 seconds and they'll be soft again.

Freezing works great—cooked or as dough. Tho' dough might not rise *quite* as gloriously after. Reheat batches covered in foil at 320°F (160°C) for about 8 minutes. Toast is also a solid choice!
