Ingredients

  • 250 ml milk warmed
  • 3 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 45 g soft salted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 600 g plain flour
  • 1 drizzle olive oil

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and sprinkle in the instant dry yeast and granulated sugar. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, soft salted butter, and egg. Whisk until well combined.
  • In another bowl, mix the plain flour and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Lightly oil the mixing bowl and place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Cover the shaped rolls with the kitchen towel and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  • Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
