Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ cup water (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast

For brushing:

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Knead the dough: Combine eggs, milk, water, vegetable oil (or melted butter), sugar, salt, flour, and instant yeast in a big bowl. Knead the dough by hand, with a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment, or with a bread machine set to the ‘dough’ cycle. If the dough seems dry or dense, add a bit more milk. The dough is kneaded enough when you can stretch a small piece thin enough to see light through it without tearing (windowpane test).
  2. The first rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Divide and shape: Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide it into 24 equal pieces using a sharp knife. Shape each piece into a ball by pinching the bottoms until the tops are smooth. Spray a 13 x 9 glass baking dish with nonstick spray and place the dough balls inside.
  4. The second rise: Cover the dish with greased plastic wrap and set it in a warm place to rise until very puffy, for about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) towards the end of the rising time.
  5. Bake: Remove the plastic wrap and brush the rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter while still warm.
  6. Serve: Let the rolls cool for about 20 minutes. Serve directly from the pan or transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients for optimal yeast activation.
  • You can freeze the unbaked rolls after shaping. Thaw and allow to rise before baking.
