These rolls are easy to make, fluffy, and delicious, ideal for enjoying warm, spread with jam or alongside a cup of hot milk. Whether you prepare them for a special occasion or just to indulge yourself in the morning, these rolls will bring a smile to anyone's face. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 8 rolls The story behind the recipe Sweet rolls have a long tradition in various cultures, being a staple of breakfast tables. They are made from simple ingredients, but each cook adds a personal touch, making them unique. In my family, these rolls are associated with pleasant memories, moments spent together at breakfast, where everyone chose their favorite filling. Ingredients - 500 g white wheat flour - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 50 g brown sugar (for a rich flavor) - 50 g melted butter (for a soft texture) - 200 ml hot milk (remember: the hotter it is, the fluffier the rolls will be) - 1 packet of dry yeast (about 7 g) - 2 eggs (kept at room temperature for better incorporation) - Optional: 100 g raisins (for a sweet-sour taste) Step by step to perfection 1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. This step is essential for achieving perfectly golden rolls. 2. Mixing dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour and mix it with the salt and brown sugar. This step ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed. 3. Incorporating the butter: Add the melted butter to the flour mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. The butter will add a rich flavor and soft texture to the rolls. 4. Activating the yeast: In another container, mix the yeast with the hot milk. It is important for the milk to be hot (but not boiling) to activate the yeast. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until a foam forms. 5. Adding the eggs: Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the milk and yeast mixture. This will help the rolls rise and achieve a fluffy texture. 6. Forming the dough: Pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl with flour. Use a spatula or your hands to combine the ingredients until you obtain a soft dough. Don’t over-knead; 1-2 minutes are enough. 7. Resting the dough: Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm place. This step allows the yeast to work, and the dough will rise significantly. 8. Shaping the rolls: Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to allow for rising. 9. Second rising: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes. During this time, prepare your desired fillings. 10. Glazing the rolls: For an attractive appearance, you can brush each roll with water, oil, or egg yolk. If desired, you can roll them in sesame seeds or sprinkle them with sugar, adding a touch of sweetness. 11. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 15 minutes. A few minutes before they are done, remove the parchment paper to achieve a golden and crispy crust. If you want them to be even fluffier, cover them with a towel as soon as you take them out of the oven. 12. The final indulgence: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing. Serve them warm, spread with butter, jam, or fruit preserves, or simply alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Useful tips and variations - For an extra flavor boost, try adding grated lemon or orange zest to the dough. This will provide a fresh and revitalizing taste. - Variations with raisins: Add raisins to the dough for a sweet-sour taste. They pair wonderfully with the flavor of the sweet rolls. - Storing the rolls: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep them in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Warm them slightly in the oven before serving to restore their fluffy texture. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can replace part of the white flour with whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquids. 2. How can I make the rolls fluffier? Make sure the milk is hot enough and don’t forget to cover the rolls after baking with a towel to keep them soft. 3. What can I serve the rolls with? These rolls are excellent with fruit jams, honey, peanut butter, or even fresh cheese.
