How to Make Creamy Bread Rolls: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creamy bread rolls, with their soft texture and rich buttery flavor, are a beloved treat. Here’s a simple recipe to achieve bakery-perfect results at home.

Ingredients:

- 500g all-purpose flour

- 50g sugar

- 5g salt

- 7g active dry yeast

- 250ml warm milk (≈35°C)

- 2 large eggs

- 100g unsalted butter (softened)

- 50g heavy cream (for filling)

- Optional: Vanilla extract, powdered sugar for dusting.

Steps:

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Prepare dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and eggs. Pour in yeast mixture, knead until smooth. Add softened butter gradually, knead for 15-20 minutes until elastic.

3. First rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled.

4. Shape rolls: Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, flatten slightly, and add a teaspoon of heavy cream (and vanilla if using). Fold edges, pinch to seal, and roll into smooth balls.

5. Second rise: Place rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.

6. Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter, dust with powdered sugar.

Enjoy these creamy, fluffy rolls fresh from the oven—they’re perfect for breakfast or snacks!
