    The warm milk creates an incredibly tender crumb, while the egg adds richness and a beautiful golden color. A touch of vegetable oil keeps them soft for days. The fluffiness is overwhelming - you have to try them to believe it!

    Ingredients

    • 250 ml Warm milk(1 cup)
    • 30 g Sugar(2 tbsp, food for the yeast)
    • 6 g Fresh yeast(2 tsp, or 3g dry yeast (1 tsp))
    • 1 Egg
    • 400 g Bread flour(3 ¼ cups)
    • 1 tsp Salt
    • 30 g Vegetable oil(2 tbsp)
    • Milk for brushing
    • Butter for finishing(small piece)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. 1
      Mix the dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk (250ml) with sugar (30g). Crumble in fresh yeast (6g) or dry yeast (3g) and mix. Break one egg and give it a quick mix. Add bread flour (400g) and salt (1 tsp). Mix with a wooden spoon until there's no more dry flour.
    2. 2
      Add oil: Add vegetable oil (30g). Mix just until the oil is incorporated. It's easier to mix with your hand, but you can also use a wooden spoon. The dough is soft and sticky - don't worry, this is normal!
    3. 3
      Overnight rest: Cover and leave in the fridge overnight. The next day, take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before using. It has risen beautifully!
    4. 4
      Shape the dough: Grease the work surface and sprinkle with some flour. Fold the dough. Flatten the dough with your hands and fold it a couple more times. Now it is ready to be cut. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
    5. 5
      Shape rolls: Flatten each piece and fold it into a ball. Rub the piece between your hands to seal it. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

    7. 7
      Final rise: Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Brush each roll with milk - it will give them a beautiful golden color.
