Equipment

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • teaspoons instant yeast
  • teaspoons salt
  • cup whole milk lukewarm
  • cup water lukewarm

For Brushing

  • milk for brushing

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (or in a large bowl if mixing by hand), combine the flour, yeast and salt on low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the milk and water and mix on medium-low speed for 10 minutes, until you have a smooth dough. (If kneading by hand, knead for 15 minutes.)
  • Transfer to a large, oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball on an un-floured work surface.
  • Spread out on the baking sheet, cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 – 45 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Just before baking, brush the rolls with some milk and lightly dust with flour.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve once cooled. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can also be frozen for up to 6 weeks.
