Sweet Rolls as they are known as Dinner Rolls in the US are not so different from our German Milk Bread Rolls or as we Germans call it “Milchbrötchen”. Learn with this video how to easily bake heavenly fluffy, sweet milk bread rolls from scratch.
Ingredients
- 450 g all purpose flour (use weight, not cups for accuracy)
- 250 ml milk, lukewarm
- 1 pouch dry yeast (7 g or 0.25 oz)
- 2 Tbsp. vanilla sugar
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 stick butter, cut in slices (=56g) at room temperature
Instructions
-
Use some of the warm milk to delute the yeast in a small bowl.
-
Add the flour to a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the yeast milk mix to the flour, cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
-
After 10 minutes add the sugar, vanilla sugar, honey, salt and the egg.
-
Give it a quick mix until the ingredients are mixed well, then add the butter.
-
Mix the dough for 10 minutes.
-
After 10 minutes mixing, cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough proof for 2 hours.
-
After 2 hours the dough should be significant larger.
-
Give it a quick knead and if you have time, let it rest for a few minutes.
-
Preheat the oven tp 350°F.
-
Divide the dough into 9 parts of equal size.
-
Each dough part gets shaped into a sphere by moving it with a hollow hand in a circle on the table.
-
Grease a baking sheet or a caserole with butter and place the rolls there.
-
You can either place them close to each other so they grow together or apart so they bake seperated from each other.
-
Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes (more or less, depending on the oven and size of the rolls).
-
Remove the rolls from the oven, let cool. Best enjoyed warm and fresh.
