Recipe

Soft White Bread Rolls

Soft white bread rolls made with strong flour and whole milk, yielding eight tender, buttery portions ideal for any meal.

What you’ll doYou will combine the dry ingredients and rub in butter before bringing everything together into a dough, then knead by hand for ten minutes until smooth and elastic. A first rise of around an hour doubles the dough, after which you knock it back, divide it into eight pieces and shape each into a taut ball. A second prove of forty minutes follows before the rolls are brushed with milk and baked. The key risk moments are under-kneading the dough and misjudging the two proving windows.
