Bread rolls

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (450g) strong plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 40g butter
  • 1 cup (250ml) warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon (14g/2 sachets) dried yeast
  • 2 teaspoons caster sugar
  • Plain flour, to dust

Instructions

  1. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter; use fingertips to rub butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  2. Combine milk, yeast and sugar in a jug; set aside for 5 minutes or until frothy. Add to flour mixture; stir to combine. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
  3. Brush a large bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 200Β°C. Punch centre of dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead for 2 minutes or until smooth. Divide dough into eight even portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Place on lightly floured oven tray. Set aside for 10 minutes to rise.
  5. Lightly brush rolls with a little water and dust with extra flour. Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 180Β°C; bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on base. Serve warm or at room temperature.
