Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ¼ cups (390 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) warm milk
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) warm water
- ¼ cup (50 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Finishing Ingredient:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Prepare the fermentation liquid by dissolving sugar into tepid water, then sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow the mixture to transform into a foamy, bubbling concoction within 5-7 minutes, indicating active biological development.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a soft flour foundation. Pour in warm milk, melted butter, and previously activated yeast solution. Gently incorporate ingredients until a cohesive, slightly tacky dough emerges.
- Transfer dough onto a lightly dusted work surface. Knead methodically, stretching and folding the mass to develop gluten networks. Continue manipulating for 7-9 minutes until the texture becomes smooth, resilient, and elastic.
- Nestle the dough into a generously oiled ceramic bowl. Drape with a moisture-retaining cloth, positioning in a draft-free, warm environment. Allow the dough to expand and rise, approximately 60-90 minutes, until its volume doubles.
- Deflate the risen dough with gentle pressure. Divide into uniform segments, carefully rolling each into perfectly symmetrical spheres. Arrange rolls in a greased baking receptacle, ensuring minimal spacing between them.
- Cover the shaped rolls, permitting a secondary proofing phase. Wait 25-35 minutes as they gradually increase in volume, becoming puffy and interconnected.
- Warm the oven to 375°F, creating an ideal baking environment. Position the rolls centrally, allowing even heat circulation. Bake until the surfaces transform into a rich, golden-bronze hue, approximately 15-18 minutes.
- Extract the freshly baked rolls, immediately brushing with liquefied butter. This final touch enhances shine and imparts a luxurious, glossy appearance.
- Allow minimal cooling time before serving. Separate rolls gently, revealing their tender, cloud-like interior, perfect for immediate consumption.
Notes
- Ensure water temperature is between 100-110°F for perfect yeast activation, using a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating soft and fluffy texture with consistent stretchy consistency.
- Allow adequate rising time in warm, draft-free area like inside a turned-off oven with light on for optimal volume and texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum to improve structural integrity.
