👩🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation (Grandma-Approved)
Step 1️⃣: Wake Up the Yeast
In a large bowl, add:
- Warm milk
- Sugar
- Dry yeast
- Melted butter
- Egg
Mix well until everything is fully combined.
💡 This warm, sweet mixture activates the yeast and gives the bread its softness.
Step 2️⃣: Form the Dough
- Add the flour and salt
- Mix until it comes together
- Knead by hand (or mixer) for 8–10 minutes
You’re looking for a dough that is:
✔ Soft
✔ Smooth
✔ Stretchy
✔ Slightly elastic
👉 If sticky, add a little flour. If dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
Step 3️⃣: First Rise (The Magic Moment)
- Shape dough into a ball
- Place in a lightly greased bowl
- Cover with a towel
Let it rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
✨ This is where the dough becomes light and airy.
Step 4️⃣: Shape the Rolls
- Gently punch down the dough
- Divide into 8–12 equal pieces
- Roll each piece into a smooth ball
Place them close together in a greased baking mold or pan.
✔ Close placement = softer sides after baking.
Step 5️⃣: Second Rise
