The milk rolls for buffet are very simple to make, the only downside, like all leavened doughs, is the slightly long rising time.
They are great for birthday parties, buffets, and general gatherings.
You can also enjoy them plain, they will be delicious.
I made them a bit long, but you can always lengthen them into a narrower shape during preparation and they will be shorter.
These rolls stay soft for 3-4 days, and I am sure that once you try my recipe, you’ll bring it out for every occasion.
The total preparation will take about 3 hours including all rising times, but if you love leavened recipes as I do, I’m sure you will tackle the recipe!
So let’s get to work and make these super soft milk rolls for buffet following the step-by-step photos and if you have any doubts leave me a message.

Ingredients to make Milk Rolls for Buffet
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp fresh yeast
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Preparation of Milk Rolls for Buffet
In a bowl, place the milk with the fresh yeast and let it dissolve, then add half of the flour, the salt, and mix well.
Next, add sugar, softened butter, and the remaining flour.
At this point, form a ball and let it rise in a warm environment for about 2 hours or until doubled.
Once risen, place the dough on a work surface and divide it into 20 equal balls, each weighing about 1.4 oz, and elongate each ball using a rolling pin, then roll it onto itself.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the rolls, spaced apart, and let them rise in a warm place for about 1 hour (you’ll judge if it takes less according to how they rise).
After rising, place the lukewarm milk in a glass and brush the rolls.
Bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes at 392°F.
Once baked, let them cool well, fill them as you like, or you can enjoy them plain, and if desired, you can store them for 3-4 days in well-sealed plastic bags.
