Main Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup (180ml) warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparing the Yeast Mixture: Begin by warming the milk to around 110°F (43°C), then stir in the active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar to feed the yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy, signaling that the yeast is active and ready to work its magic.
- Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the sweetened condensed milk, melted unsalted butter, the egg, and the frothy yeast mixture. Stir everything until it starts coming together as a sticky, soft dough.
- Kneading the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes. This helps develop the gluten for a springy and smooth texture. The dough should become elastic but still slightly tacky to the touch.
- First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
- Shaping the Rolls: Punch the risen dough down gently and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into smooth balls and place them evenly spaced on a greased baking tray or pan.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls once again and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until they puff up and touch each other slightly.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with a little melted butter or egg wash for shine. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Cooling: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to lock in moisture and ensure every bite is soft and fluffy.
Notes
- Use fresh yeast: Make sure your yeast is active and fresh for the best rise and texture.
- Don’t over-flour: Add flour gradually during kneading to avoid a tough dough.
- Warm environment for rising: Place the dough in a warm, draft-free spot to speed up proofing.
- Rest between rises: Give the dough ample time to rest after shaping for soft rolls.
- Brush with butter post-bake: Adds flavor and keeps the rolls moist as they cool.
