Method
-
step 1
Put the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl and stir together
-
step 2
Melt the butter very gently in a pan then add the milk and heat until just lukewarm.
-
step 3
Gradually stir the liquid into the flour mixture, bringing together into a soft dough. Knead in the bowl a few times then tip out onto a worksurface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until silky smooth and springy. Try not to add too much extra flour when kneading – it might start off a bit sticky but as you work the dough it should get smoother and easier to handle.
-
step 4
Put the dough into a clean oiled bowl, cover and leave for an hour until doubled in size.
-
step 5
Tip the dough out of the bowl, knead briefly, then divide into eight and shape into round bread rolls. Dust a large baking sheet with flour and arrange the rolls on top with space between them. Cover with an oiled beeswax sheet or a lightly dampened clean tea towel and leave for another hour to prove.
-
step 6
Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Brush each roll lightly with milk, then bake for 18-20 minutes or until browned and sounding hollow when tapped on the bases. Cool and serve or store in an airtight container.
