Picture this: a serene evening, the table is set, and at its heart is a basket filled with golden rolls, emitting a sweet aroma of honey and butter. Introducing the Honey-Butter Bliss Milk Dinner Rolls, a delicacy that promises the softest, fluffiest, and most flavorful experience. These rolls have a texture so delicate that they spring back to their original form when pressed. The magic lies in the fusion of honey and butter, making every bite an orchestra of flavors.
Ingredients:
- 200 ml milk (a little over 3/4 cup) – the liquid magic
- 10 gr (1 tbsp) instant yeast – the rising star
- 50 gr (3 1/3 tbsp) sugar, out of which 10 gr or 2/3 tbsp will be used for the yeast bloom
- 7 gr (1 1/3 tsp) salt – a hint to balance
- 1 large egg – binding and richness
- 400 gr (2 3/4 cups) bread flour – the canvas of our rolls
- 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter – a touch of opulence
- 2 tbsp honey – nature’s nectar
Instructions:
Begin with milk’s warmth: heat the 200 ml milk for about 30-40 seconds in a microwave. In this lukewarm embrace, add 10 grams of sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely. Introduce the yeast, give it a gentle stir, cover, and let it bloom for around 5 minutes.
As the yeast dances and froths, melt the butter in a separate bowl. To this liquid gold, add honey, salt, the remaining sugar, and an egg. Blend well, ensuring a harmonious mix.
In the majestic arena of a mixing bowl, lay down the bread flour. Gently pour in the milk-yeast potion and the butter-honey mixture.
With the grace of a maestro, set your mixer to a gentle stir for a minute. Gradually increase the tempo to a moderate speed, letting the ingredients waltz for about 10-12 minutes.
As they dance, prepare a container with a light greasing. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest, doubling or even tripling in size, in a slightly warm oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once risen like the morning sun, bring out the dough. Deflate gently and divide into 12 even balls. Position them in a greased baking pan, and let them rise once more in the oven, ensuring they fill their stage.
The final act: bake these budding stars in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-17 minutes. Their golden hue will be a sight to behold.
For an encore, brush them with melted butter right out of the oven, sealing in their exquisite aroma and flavor.
There you have it, the Honey-Butter Bliss Milk Dinner Rolls, a testament to the timeless love affair between honey, butter, and bread. Ideal for any gathering or a quiet evening meal, these rolls promise to be the highlight of your dining table.
