Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 8 1/4 cups Flour Use Bread flour or all purpose
  • 2 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups Lukewarm milk
  • 1/2 cup butter melted and cooled

Method
 

  1. Pour the lukewarm water, yeast and one teaspoon of sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix to combine, then set aside to bloom for 5 to 10 minutes
  2. Next, add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl
  3. Knead for 8 to 15 minutes or until the dough is smooth and stretchy. This process is essential for developing the gluten, which will give your finished product a much better texture
  4. Shape into a ball, and transfer into an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until it has visibly doubled in volume
  5. Uncover the dough, and punch it down to remove air bubbles
  6. Divide the dough into 20 to 24 pieces
    Shape the doughs into uniform balls, and transfer into a buttered pan or a pan that has been lined. I used two pans
  7. Cover the pans loosely, and set aside to rise for 1 hour to rise in a warm spot
    Towards the end of the rising period, please preheat your oven to 180°C. Uncover the pan and bake it in the oven for about 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the rolls from the pan and transfer unto a wire rack to cool completely
    You can brush the top of the rolls with melted butter for a bit of shine and flavor. This simple step adds a nice finish and enhances the overall taste
