Ingredients
- 1 ¼ Cups Warm Milk (110°F)
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoon Instant Yeast
- ¼ Cup Avocado Oil (or melted butter)
- 1 Egg Large
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 Cups All Purpose Flour
- Melted butter to brush on top
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1¼ cups warm milk, 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast, and ¼ cup sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 2-3 minutes until slightly foamy, then whisk in ¼ cup avocado oil and 1 egg until well combined.
- Add 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt to the milk mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined, then add remaining 2 cups flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a clean work surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky (it should spring back when gently poked but not stick to your hands). Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down risen dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll into a ½-inch thick rectangle, then cut into 20-24 roughly equal squares using a knife or bench scraper.
- Arrange rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each roll. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 1 hour until puffy and nearly doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top. Immediately brush tops with melted butter while warm.
Notes
Pro Tips: For extra-soft rolls, don't over-flour your work surface when kneading. The dough should feel slightly tacky, not completely smooth. Milk temperature is crucial - too hot will kill the yeast, too cool will slow rising.
Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
Substitutions: Regular melted butter can replace avocado oil. For richer flavor, substitute ½ cup of the milk with heavy cream.
Troubleshooting: If rolls don't rise well, check that your yeast isn't expired and milk wasn't too hot. Dough should feel soft and pillowy after the second rise.
