Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- Optional fillings: cheese, ham, or herbs
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Mix warm milk (about 110°F), 1 teaspoon of sugar, and dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Create the dough: In a large bowl, combine remaining sugar, melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, kneading until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into portions, and shape into balls or ovals. Place on a greased baking pan and add fillings if desired.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the shaped dough rise for 20 minutes, then bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. For crispy crust, use a small batch air fryer if preferred.
Notes
- Feel free to add herbs, cheese, or meats into the dough for flavor variations.
- Ensure the yeast is properly activated for fluffy results.
- Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or longer in the fridge, then reheated in the oven or microwave.
