Here’s a soft, fluffy Bread Roll recipe — perfect for dinner, sandwiches, or as a snack.
🍞 Soft Bread Rolls
Ingredients (Makes 12 rolls)
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- Optional: melted butter for brushing
Instructions
1️⃣ Activate Yeast
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
- Stir gently and let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2️⃣ Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Add yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg.
- Mix until a sticky dough forms.
3️⃣ Knead the Dough
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–6 minutes.
4️⃣ First Rise
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a warm place 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
5️⃣ Shape Rolls
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet or in a greased baking pan.
6️⃣ Second Rise
- Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
7️⃣ Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Optional: brush tops with melted butter for a golden crust.
- Bake 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
8️⃣ Serve
- Remove from oven and cool slightly.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or use for sandwiches.
💡 Tips
- For extra soft rolls, add 2–3 tbsp milk powder to the flour.
- Brushing with egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water) before baking gives shiny, golden tops.
- You can make whole wheat rolls by replacing half the flour with whole wheat flour.
- Rolls freeze well — store cooled rolls in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
If you want, I can also give you a buttery dinner roll version that’s super soft and fluffy, almost like bakery rolls.
