Milk Powder Rolls - a simple and delicious recipe for unforgettable moments Total time: 2 hours (including rising time) Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 50-60 minutes Number of servings: 11-12 rolls Welcome to the wonderful world of cooking! Today, I will share with you a recipe for milk powder rolls, an easy dish perfect for breakfast or to be enjoyed alongside a warm soup at lunch. These rolls are fluffy, fragrant, and have a unique taste thanks to the milk powder, which gives them a soft texture and a subtle aroma. The history of rolls takes us back in time to family meals that were always surrounded by the warmth and joy of loved ones. In this recipe, you will learn how to bring that atmosphere into your own kitchen. Necessary ingredients: - 1 kg of flour - 130 g (1 packet) of milk powder - 50 g of fresh yeast - 1 teaspoon of sugar - Salt, to taste - Butter for greasing the pan - Oil and water (in equal proportions) for greasing the rolls Ready to get started? Here are the detailed steps to achieve the fluffiest rolls! Step 1: Preparing the ingredients Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand. The flour should be fresh to get the best results. If you want, you can use whole wheat flour for a richer taste and denser texture. The milk powder adds a creamy flavor, but if you don’t have it, you can use liquid milk, adjusting the amount of water in the recipe. Step 2: Sift the flour In a large bowl, sift the flour. This step is essential to avoid lumps and to aerate the flour, which will contribute to a fluffier roll. Add the milk powder, salt, and teaspoon of sugar. The sugar helps activate the yeast, giving a slightly sweet note to your rolls. Step 3: Activating the yeast In a separate container, dissolve the yeast in about 100 ml of warm milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is crucial, as the activated yeast will help the dough rise beautifully. Step 4: Mixing the dough Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the flour. Start mixing with a wooden spoon, gradually adding warm water until you obtain an elastic and homogeneous dough. It is important not to add too much water at once; add a little at a time so you can control the consistency. Step 5: Kneading the dough Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If you have a food processor, this step will be much easier! The dough should be slightly sticky but not excessively so. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. Step 6: Allowing to rise Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it sit in a warm place for about an hour or until the dough doubles in volume. This is the perfect time to relax or prepare other ingredients for your meal. Step 7: Shaping the rolls After the dough has risen, place it on a floured work surface. Divide it into 11-12 equal portions and shape them into round balls. Make sure to shape them well so they look nice and uniform. Step 8: Placing in the pan Grease a pan with butter and place the shaped rolls in it, leaving space between them to rise. Cover again with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Step 9: Baking the rolls Preheat the oven to 180°C (low heat) and bake the rolls for 50-60 minutes or until they turn golden and sound hollow when tapped. It is important not to open the oven in the first 30 minutes to avoid interrupting the baking process. Step 10: Oil and water for a perfect finish When the rolls are ready, take them out of the oven and immediately brush them with a mixture of oil and water (in equal proportions). This trick will keep them soft and fluffy. Serving suggestion Milk powder rolls are perfect to be served warm, alongside butter and fruit jam or honey. You can also use them to accompany soups or stews. If you feel adventurous, try filling them with cheese or cold cuts for a hearty breakfast. Tips and variations If you want to add a touch of flavor, you can include dried herbs or spices in the dough. A delicious variation would be to sprinkle some sesame or poppy seeds on top before baking. These rolls are versatile and can be adapted according to your preferences. Nutritional benefits Milk powder rolls are a good source of carbohydrates, and the milk powder adds protein and calcium. This dish is an excellent choice for a nutritious breakfast or snack. Whole wheat flour, if used, will also add more dietary fiber, contributing to a healthy diet. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast, but make sure to follow the instructions on the package for activation. 2. How can I store the rolls? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can freeze them, and when you need them, just let them thaw at room temperature. 3. Can I add chocolate or dried fruits to the dough? Absolutely! Adding chocolate or dried fruits will make the rolls even more delicious. Be creative and experiment! Now that you have this milk powder roll recipe, all that’s left is to get to work! With a little effort and love, you will create a dish that will bring joy and delight to every meal. Enjoy!
