Ingredients
- 120 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 10 g Granulated sugar
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 3 g Salt
- 120 ml Low-calorie milk (unsweetened, such as almond or skim milk)
- 15 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently to dissolve. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy. This activates the yeast.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix briefly to distribute the salt evenly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan or in the microwave, warm the milk and butter until the butter has just melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
Step 4
Add the frothy yeast mixture and the lukewarm milk-butter mixture to the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough comes together.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, dust with a little extra flour, but be careful not to add too much.
Step 6
Lightly grease a large bowl with cooking spray or oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small ball.
Step 8
Place the rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 10
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 11
Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
