Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) of active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 1 cup warm milk
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
3. Add the activated yeast mixture to the liquid ingredients in the bowl. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated.
4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, about a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue adding flour until the dough becomes stiff enough to knead.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
6. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
7. After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf or rolls, depending on your preference.
8. Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it once again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen for the second time, place it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the milk rolls are golden brown on top.
10. Remove the milk rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these deliciously fresh and warm milk rolls with a pat of butter or your favorite jam!
