Directions
-
Warm the milk slightly until it feels like bathwater, then mix in the sugar and yeast to activate.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and beaten egg.
-
Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and divide into equal portions.
-
Shape each portion into a smooth round roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
-
Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
-
Brush the tops of the rolls with a little beaten egg for a golden shine.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are deep golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
