Ingredients
- 380 grams all-purpose flour
- 260 grams whole milk
- 70 grams rapeseed oil
- 60 grams white sugar
- 5 grams kosher salt
- 1 medium bag vanilla sugar
- 1 envelope baker’s yeast
Instructions
Step 1: Warm the Milk
Gently heat the milk in the microwave for about 25 seconds, being careful not to overheat. Overheating can kill the yeast, so aim for lukewarm milk.
Step 2: Dissolve the Yeast
Add the baker’s yeast to the lukewarm milk, stirring gently, then let it sit for around 10 minutes. This helps activate the yeast.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla sugar. Mix these ingredients well.c
Step 4: Combine Oil and Yeast Mixture
Add the rapeseed oil to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Gradually pour in the milk and yeast mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
Step 5: Knead the Dough
Knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth. Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a tea towel, and set it in a warm place. Allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size.
Step 6: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°F (82°C) as the dough rises.
Step 7: Prepare the Baking Surface
Lightly flour your work surface, then butter a baking mold and line it with parchment paper.
Step 8: Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place the dough balls in the prepared mold, leaving a little space between them for further expansion.
Step 9: Rest and Bake
Let the dough balls rest for an additional 20 minutes. Brush the tops with a bit of milk, then bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and fluffy.
These homemade Soft and Buttery Yeast Rolls are worth every step. Enjoy the warm, comforting aroma as they bake and serve them fresh with a bit of butter or jam. They’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
