Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between each roll.
Second rise: Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls: Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. You can also brush the tops with melted butter during the last few minutes of baking for a shiny finish.
Cool and enjoy: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve these fluffy homemade bread rolls warm with butter or your favorite spread.
Conclusion:
Congratulations! You’ve just created a batch of soft and pillowy homemade bread rolls that are sure to impress. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with your favorite toppings or use them to make sandwiches that will have everyone asking for more. Happy baking!
