Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast about 2.25 teaspoons
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk make sure it’s Halal-certified
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs beaten
- Additional melted butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
- Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup of warm milk, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 2 beaten eggs. Stir until the mixture starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured countertop. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Shaping and Baking
- Punch down the dough gently and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them into a greased baking pan.
- Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise again until they double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.
- Remove them from the oven and brush with more melted butter if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or coconut milk and use vegan butter. Ensure your dough rises in a warm environment and avoid over-kneading the dough.
