• 250 ml warm milk

• 80 ml warm water

• 60 ml vegetable oil

• 1 egg (about 50 g)

• 20 g melted butter (for brushing)

• 10 g flour (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This ensures the yeast is active.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 3: First Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 4: Shape the Rolls

Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air. Divide into equal portions (about 80 g each). Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them slightly apart on a lined baking tray.

Cover and allow them to rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.

Step 5: Bake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the rolls for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown on top. 🔥

Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter for extra softness and shine.

Presentation

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Lightly dust with flour for a rustic bakery-style finish. Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, olive oil, or alongside soups and stews.

The golden crust and soft, airy crumb make them perfect for any occasion.
