→ Finishing
07 -
1 1/2 tbsp milk for brushing
08 -
Unsalted butter for brushing baked rolls
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine lukewarm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
02 -
In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, condensed milk, and softened butter. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix with a spatula until a rough dough forms. Cover and rest for 15-20 minutes.
03 -
Knead the dough with the mixer’s dough hook on low speed for 3-4 minutes, then increase to medium-high speed and continue kneading for 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, slightly sticky, and pulls away from the sides.
04 -
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free environment for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
05 -
Punch down the dough gently on a floured surface and shape into a log. Divide into 9 equal pieces (approx. 76-77 g each) and roll each into a smooth ball. Arrange on a parchment-lined 9x9 inch baking pan.
06 -
Cover the shaped dough balls with a damp towel and let proof for 30-45 minutes or until puffy.
07 -
Set oven to 200°C (about 390°F) while rolls are proofing.
08 -
Brush the proofed rolls gently with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.
09 -
Immediately brush the hot rolls with butter to soften the crust and add shine. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure milk is lukewarm to effectively activate the yeast without killing it.
