Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by mixing the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl, allowing it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy. This step is super important as it activates the yeast, ensuring those fluffy rolls we all love. Once frothy, add melted butter, egg, and salt. Then, slowly add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. I like to knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic, filling my kitchen with that comforting smell of fresh bread. Once kneaded, cover the dough in a bowl and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour until it doubles in size. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
