Following the soft milk bread rolls recipe, you get rolls that are great to enjoy on their own or filled with jam, chocolate, etc.
Delicious is also the pairing with savory ingredients, creating in this case a tasty contrast between the delicately sweet dough that characterizes them and the salty, for example, of cured meats.
They can be served for breakfast, as a snack, but also at children’s parties.
A nice idea is to sprinkle the surface of these rolls with sesame or poppy seeds before baking them, giving them a more intense flavor and making them especially beautiful to display in the bread basket.
Learning to prepare them at home is really useful as well as simple, and today I leave you my recipe.

Ingredients
- 12.35 oz all-purpose flour
- 5.3 oz bread flour
- 2.8 oz sugar
- 1.2 cups milk
- 2.1 oz butter (softened)
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 1.4 tsp fine salt
- 1 egg (to glaze the rolls)
- 3.5 tbsp milk (to glaze the rolls)
Tools
- 1 Scale kitchen
- 1 Brush kitchen with silicone bristles
- Baking Tray oven
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the sifted flours, sugar, dry yeast, and softened butter pieces, and work them in by incorporating the slightly warmed milk.
It’s important not to heat the milk too much, as it would kill the bacteria that activate the leavening.
Work the dough for 10 minutes, add the fine salt, and continue working the dough for at least another 5 minutes.
At this point, form a ball and let it rise in a floured bowl.
Cover the surface of the dough with cling film and the entire bowl with a towel.
Let it rise for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in volume, in a place not exposed to drafts.
After this time, take from the dough, weighing them with a kitchen scale, balls of 80 grams. Generally, I make smaller rolls of 50 grams, medium ones of 80 grams, or elongated ones of about 100 grams each.
With the 80 grams size, you will get exactly 11 rolls.
Everyone can choose the size they prefer, starting from even 30 grams.
To achieve a smooth shape, flour the palm of your left hand and with the fingers of your right hand pull the dough and seal the various edges well together (video).
Then place the rolls on the baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring that the part where the edges are joined is the base.
Wet the surface of the rolls thus obtained only with milk and let them rise in the turned-off oven for about 30 minutes.
Then remove the tray from the oven and preheat it to 356 degrees with the static function.
Brush, using a silicone brush, the rolls with a beaten egg diluted with 1-2 teaspoons of milk. Bake for about 16-18 minutes in the middle of the oven.
After this tray containing 9 rolls, I baked the remaining 2, which I kept in the fridge during the baking time of the previous ones.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.
The soft milk bread rolls recipe is thus completed.
