Fluffiest Bread Rolls

Instructions

1. Mix the dough (very soft!)

In a bowl, whisk:

  • flour
  • sugar
  • salt
  • yeast

Add:

  • warm milk
  • warm water
  • egg
  • melted butter

Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Sticky dough = fluffiest rolls!
Don’t add extra flour unless absolutely necessary.


2. Knead

Knead 6–8 minutes by hand or mixer until smooth and stretchy.


3. First rise

Cover bowl and let dough rise 1 hour or until doubled.


4. Shape

  1. Punch down dough gently.
  2. Divide into 12–15 pieces.
  3. Roll each into a smooth ball.
  4. Place in a greased baking dish, edges touching.

5. Second rise

Let rolls rise 30–40 minutes, VERY puffy.


6. Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, until lightly golden.


7. Make them irresistible

Brush HOT rolls with melted butter (or butter + honey).
This makes them shiny, soft, and extra fluffy.


⭐ Tips for the fluffiest rolls ever

  • Use warm milk, not hot.
  • Dough must be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Let rolls touch each other in the pan — they rise higher.
  • Butter right after baking.
  • You can replace some milk with heavy cream for extra richness.
