Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup warm whole milk about 105–110°F
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp instant yeast
  • 5.5 oz eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3.25 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 6 oz unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for greasing bowl
  • 2 tbsp whole milk for brushing
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for finishing

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the milk until just hot to the touch, then stir in sugar and yeast.
  • Let the mixture stand until foamy on top, about 5–10 minutes.
  • Combine flour and salt in a mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook.
  • Pour in the foamy milk and the beaten eggs. Mix on low until a rough dough forms.
  • Increase to medium speed and knead until smoother, about 3 minutes.
  • Add softened butter a tablespoon at a time, letting it fully incorporate.
  • Knead until the dough is glossy, stretchy, and cleans the bowl, 6–8 minutes.
  • Grease a bowl with oil, shape dough into a ball, and place seam-side down.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 60–90 minutes.
  • Turn out the dough, gently deflate, and divide into 12 equal pieces.
  • Round each piece into a tight ball. Rest 10 minutes uncovered.
  • Arrange on a parchment-lined sheet or in a 9x13-inch pan, spaced evenly.
  • Cover and proof until puffy and nearly doubled, 45–75 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush rolls gently with milk.
  • Bake until deep golden and 195°F inside, about 16–18 minutes.
  • Brush hot rolls with melted butter. Cool 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For flavor twists, mix in a teaspoon of orange zest or a pinch of cinnamon. For sliders, shape into eight larger rolls and bake a few minutes longer.
Overnight option: After the first rise, refrigerate the dough up to 12 hours. Shape cold, proof, and bake. Store cooled rolls airtight at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
