- 290 gm white bread flour
- 125 g whole milk
- 4 gm yeast ( I used 5 gm)
- 50 gm of egg
- 38 gm of sugar
- 5 gm salt
- 63 gm unsalted butter
For the egg wash.
I egg plus a table spoon milk mix both together in a bowl and then use.
Warm milk to about 100-110 F in the microwave and add yeast (plus 1 tsp sugar) mix well wand set aside.
Combine flour, sugar and salt in a stand mixer bowl. Add the yeast/milk mixture and egg. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough comes together and not sticking to the side of the bowl.
Add soften butter, little at a time untill all incorporated into teh dough. Continue to let the dough knead for another 10 minutes un till soft, smooth and have a satin look.
Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowel, cover and let it proof about 1 1/2 hour or un till double in size.
Transfer the dough onto the silicon mat and press down the dough lightly.
Dive the dough into 10 equal balls ( I did 8) .
Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes before working on it.
Roll out each piece of dough, one at a time, into a circle about 4” in diameter. Slowly roll up the circle from one end, Swiss roll/ jelly roll style into a cylinder. Pinch the seam closed neatly, and place them on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet with the seam side facing down. Cover loosely and let them rise for an hour or so till almost double in size.
Preheat the oven at 400° f , brush the dough with the egg wash.
And using a pair of sharp scissors, make diagonal cuts (not too deep) on the top of the rolls.
Bake them at 200°C (400 F) for about 15 minutes or so until they’re golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack and enjoying these super soft breads.
