Bread Roll Recipe

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsps. warm water
  • 1/3 cup melted, unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. active dry yeast (yes, you read that right! 2 tablespoons!)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine warm water, melted butter, yeast and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer; let mixture rest for 5-10 minutes or until frothy and bubbly. Using a dough hook, mix in salt, egg and 2 cups of flour until combined. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time (dough will be sticky). Spray your hands with cooking spray or use butter and shape the dough into 12 equal balls.

Place balls on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake for about 10 minutes or until tops are lightly golden.

You can make this recipe without a stand mixer – use a big bowl, a wooden spoon, and stir, stir, stir.

Tips – Don’t use expired yeast & make sure to mix/knead thoroughly.
