Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 8 rolls

Necessary ingredients:
- 500 g flour
- 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g)
- 300 ml warm milk
- 1 teaspoon salt (10 g)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (10 g)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 50 g melted butter

Brief history of the recipe:
Rolls have been consumed throughout history, being a staple in the diets of many cultures. They symbolize the warmth of home and the joy of shared meals with family. The variety of recipes and shapes has evolved depending on the available ingredients, but the essence remains the same: the desire to bring people together around the table.

Preparation techniques:
1. Preparing the dough: Start by warming the milk until it is warm (not hot, so as not to kill the yeast). Place it in a large bowl and add the sugar and yeast. Gently mix and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until a foam forms on the surface. This is a sign that the yeast has been activated.

2. Mixing the ingredients: Add the flour and salt to the bowl, along with the lemon juice and melted butter. Use a spatula or your hands to combine the ingredients. Begin kneading the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If you are using a bread machine, you can use the kneading function, saving time and effort.

3. Letting it rise: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until it doubles in size.

4. Shaping the rolls: After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1 cm thick, with a diameter of about 10 cm.

5. Brushing and baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat an egg with a little milk and brush each roll with this mixture. This step will give them a golden and appetizing crust.

6. Baking: Place the tray in the oven and bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden. Once you take them out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving.

Useful tips:
- Always check if the yeast is active, especially if using dry yeast.
- You can add various ingredients to the dough, such as herbs, cheese, or olives, to create your personalized version.
- If you want to save time, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.
- The rolls store well in an airtight container for a few days, but they are most delicious when consumed fresh out of the oven.

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 liquid amount.
2. How can I make them fluffier? Make sure you knead the dough enough and let it rise properly.
3. Can I freeze the rolls? Yes, you can freeze the baked rolls. Wrap them well and defrost them before consuming.

Delicious combinations:
These rolls are excellent alongside:
- Your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
- Natural honey
- Nutella or other chocolate spreads
- A glass of milk or fruit tea

Personal note: I love to add a few drops of vanilla essence to the dough for an extra flavor boost. Once baked, the rolls become a true delight, and the aroma of vanilla makes them even more special.
